Every year I always have a few interesting names in my classes, but for some reason this year my classes seem to be teeming with interesting and unique names. I also always get a kick out of the spelling that common names get.

So what do you think? How does your name do in comparison?
With the name I was given I understand how it feels to correct every teacher during the first month of school. I have had a teacher give up on trying to pronounce my name correctly and just revert back to calling me Miss (my last name). So with my own experiences of having an interesting name and spelling I try my best to pronounce everyones name correctly, but as you can see - it's getting harder an harder every year.
I just decided to add the pronounciation guide for those of you who were like me and needed it!
I quite frankly feel we'd really masoud if you hadn't posted this blog! People are definitely getting more creative with their names huh?!

ReplyDeleteWow, LOVE this list. And your school is definitely in a different area than mine. I think the most interesting name I've come across this year is Trevin. :)
