Q: Any of your students have hilarious English names?
In one class: Eternal Dawn
In the same class: a guy called Happy, another called Sad
In another: Rainbow
Even some of the younger Chinese English teachers chose 'wisely'. I did a double-take when one of them introduced herself as 'Apple'
13 years 10 weeks ago in Teaching & Learning - China
Some boy names: Endless Night, Hulk (and he was 156cm tall), Jizz, Veedee(VD), Hymen
Girl names: Easy, Twink, Taint, Poopy, Lawanda
On a sidenote, everytime I encounter a student with an English name referring to "intelligence", these students are the most idiotic: Smart, Genius, Brain, and Einstein were some of the dumbest students I've had.
markferrer:
Where I come from, Atlanta, Lawanda is a real common name
One kids name is Do Do and another ones name is Easy and they won't change them even after I told them what they mean.
Kindergarten teacher's name is 'Promise' and her student 'Hoover'.

Kids at that age don't have too many exams. It is entirely Chinese parents fault! They don't understand, English name to Chinese person is because of foreign language learning. Parents think, they must choose as biological 'owners' 'right' English name to student, and they refuse to change it.
In Yingkou, I had 1.5 years old student with English name 'Savannah'. I told her 'niang', it will take probably another year of oral practice, till she will be able to answer the question: 'What is your name?', butt.... to no avail.
I had one 9 year old student this week who'd decided to make a name change to Vanessa, which is not such a funny name in itself, except that the student in question is a boy. I was tempted to slap young Vanessa on the back and tell him 'good choice' but I didn't have the heart.
a boy named "whatever" and a girl named "imagination"
Students - Dinosaur, Rainbow and Small Spot
Teacher - Echo
Met a kid called Spongebob and a boy called Sophie who insisted on keeping it Sophie.
Sorry，didnt realize I had already answered before.....

In my school we have: Hulk, Cherry, Diago (yes, written with "a" and that's bugging me), Dudu, Yoyo, Rain, Honey... o.O
Welcome b underscore encsi. You have answered a 5 year old question. A common mistake. So let's resume the debate 
Echo is common. It comes and goes.
We have blue, green, Elvis, summer, holiday, big red, small red, and a little old lady. My daughter is little orange, her friend is big Apple. Too many names. I can't keep up.
