We have a lot of students come to our school every summer. These students give themselves some interesting English names. I have made it a habit to collect them. Here is what I have for Summer 2010, so far:
- Aki
- Alladin
- Anakin
- Ariel
- Aurora
- Ava
- Bone
- Brent
- Bria
- Che
- Cherry
- Daisy
- Duffy
- Flyer
- Haine
- Hugh
- Jelliceoe
- Jerrisca
- Jinson
- Joe (This was a girl. She didn't like Jo. Then, She wanted Jo-e. Spell it Joey! I said.)
- Jordge
- Josh
- Journey
- Joy
- Juice
- Kaiser
- Kiki
- Kin
- Libra
- Little Bear
- Marder
- Mickey
- Poplar
- Rain
- Randy
- Seven
- Smile
- Tiffy
- Watermelon
- Wolf
- Xanxus (How to pronounce? For this little bastard, the x's are silent)
- Yao Yao
- Zoey
Some of the names on the list are pretty normal - Ava, Hugh, Josh, Zoey etc are all fairly common names in English-speaking countries. Or is this a complete list and almost all your students have strange names?
ReplyDeleteI made a list of unusual names and first-time names (from Chinese students).
