i taught swim lessons and preschool, do y’all wanna hear the most ridiculous white kid names i’ve ever seen?

weatheredlaw

  • i’ve met at least a dozen children named some form of “jackson” but the best ones were “jaxon” and “jakson” 
  • a parent who i really liked named her son “jaycob” because she was worried people wouldn’t pronounce it correctly. when someone accidentally spelled it “jacob” she would loudly and obnoxiously ask “WHO’S JAH-KOBE?” 
  • two siblings named “thor” and “tiara”
  • i once had a classroom with four girls named “brooklyn”
  • if you sent me a list of popular boy names, i could guarantee i’ve met every single one of them
  • twin girls named paisley and brinley
  • a girl named reader
  • a boy named rocko
  • keighleey
  • kayde
  • kolten
  • if it can start with a “k” instead of a “c” i have met that child
  • brittalynn 
  • i taught a swim class with three girls named “london” but only one of them was spelled “lundon” and i know my boss did that to me on purpose
  • a couple named all their kids after places in arizona: tatum, payson, and hayden
  • and speaking of hayden, i’ve seen: haydon, heighden, and heydon 
  • according to some white people, there are sixteen different ways to spell mckenzie
  • lakelyn, blakelynn

I had a student named Branch.

I once had pair of siblings named Hunter and Tanner. I really wanted them to have a sister named Fawn.

I had a Clark and Ophelia that were a bit unusual in the naming department.

And I had every single imaginable version of a girl’s name staring with “Mad-“ and every single imaginable version of a boy’s name ending in “-aden”

Mom’s a teacher. So far her best/worst white kid names:

  • “Damion with a Y” according to the parent. Daymion? Damyon? Nope. Damiony. The Y is silent, said parent
  • A girl named Free. Maybe not that bad on its own, but the girl’s last name was Love
  • A boy named Calup because his mom couldn’t spell Caleb

the y is silenty

Some of my favorites my mom taught were:

A girl named Espn pronounced Espen

And then a girl named Champagne

Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]

For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.

Beautiful.

and a new cat was hired right?

clarenecessities

yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy

I’m crying at 11pm over train cats

sighinastorm

Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016).  There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.

okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back

kindaoffkilter

“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]

As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.
