A Teacher Shares a Collection of ‘Outlandish’ Children’s Names from Her September Class – Leaving Everyone Puzzled About the Parents’ Choices
By Jowena Riley
In the era of a rapidly growing global population, parents are increasingly opting for unconventional names to set their children apart. This trend is not new, as celebrities have been giving their kids unique names for decades, influencing everyday people to do the same. However, spare a thought for teachers who are faced with the challenge of learning these unconventional names as new students enter their classes each year.
Recently, an anonymous teacher took to Facebook to share a list of extraordinary names she found on her upcoming September class register. The teacher claimed to have quickly scanned the school’s enrolments for the year. Some of the unusual yet increasingly common names she came across were Jaxen and Aliyah. But there were a few that stood out for their rarity. One notable name on the list was Syakyra, pronounced as ‘Shakira’.
Among the other peculiar names mentioned by the teacher were Rhydah, Presillar, Christisarah, Anjewel’Lea, and Biar Biar. The list also included alternative spellings for more common names, such as Deklyn, Alarna, Aaryah, Maz, Angel-Lee, and Karleb. This post gained attention on the Meta social site, with many parents expressing their bewilderment at these unique monikers and questioning the reasoning behind such choices for their children. Some even joked that these parents must not have graduated from grade school.
However, there were also some voices that didn’t find the names to be too extreme. They pointed out that names like Diamond, Aliyah, Jaylene, Porsha, and Aalijah were more typical and not as alarming as others on the list, such as Aliyah or Skylar-raine.
The post also prompted other teachers to share the uncommon names they had encountered in the past. One teacher mentioned a student whose name was spelled J’ley but pronounced Jaylee. Another shared the experience of having a student named Pistol, which speaks for itself. A commenter added that their friend, also a teacher, had a student named A’Blessyn.
The rise of unconventional names isn’t just a challenge for teachers who have to quickly memorize these unique names. It’s also causing disagreements in romantic relationships. A soon-to-be dad sought advice on Reddit, expressing his dislike for the unique names his wife wants to give their first child. He preferred traditional names to protect the child from potential bullying and to be taken seriously. Meanwhile, his partner suggested names like Fennix, Park, and Diesel.
In conclusion, the phenomenon of unusual names continues to grow, leaving teachers and even parents puzzled. While some view these names as outrageous and potentially harmful to children, others see them as a mere form of self-expression. Nonetheless, it is clear that these unique names have become a topic of discussion and are shaping the way we perceive names in today’s society.
