Funny teacher names. Some poor teacher's should change their names

[kami2199]

I once had a teacher at a community college named..HARRY GROSSMAN..I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried. I'd actually forgot about that until now. We also had a pediatrician in the same town named Dr. Butts. Those poor kids didn't stand a chance...not one of them, no matter how sick, could keep a straight face!

My Dh wentto college with a poor kid whose name was Mike Hunt. It looks innocuos until one says first and last name together....

 

[Charade]

In grade school (before I knew much of anything and could have capitalized on it) we had a teacher named

Mrs. Fluck.

Not kidding!!

Too bad he wasn't a proctologist.
There is a urologist in my area named Dr. Fallick.

Well, she wasn't a teacher, but my maternal grandmothers maiden name was Crapps. Yes, Crapps. Mary Alice Crapps. I would have been horrified.

My son's middle school guidance counselor is "Mr. Butts". His wife is also a guidance counselor at the school. "Mrs. Butts" became pregnant last year. Imagine the jokes about the "little butt"

Our new principal has the same name......He is the nicest man, but my 1st grader is still into potty humor, and gets a big kick out of it. Altho, do boys ever outgrow that???

My journalism teacher was Mr. Romance. The class was full of girls, and over 1/2 of them dropped out after the first week when they found out it was not an easy class! I also had a 12th grade English teacher named Mrs. Kuntz. You can imagine how the kids would pronounce it.

Almost forgot: my middle school principal's name was Mr. Beavert. Nobody ever said the "t."

We have a teacher at my, *AHEM* new(as of this aftenoon) place of employment/formerly my place of volunteerment, that had a DS who went to school in a nearby town. I was helping her with a banner for their carnival. I saw the name and asked if it was for real.
It was Mrs. Tush, pronounced like touch but with the sh sound on the end, not like push.
It is better than that though. Her maiden name was Bonham. She is a kdg teacher. When little kids would say it they made it sound like Bottom.
So she went from being a Bottom to a Tush.
We had a tall teacher named Short.
My 4th grade teacher was Figgins, the other 4th grade teacher was Higgins.
We had a Kuntz too, but I don't remember anyone ever saying it wrong.
A music teacher named Sherbo had my sister saying it sherbert.
There was a student teacher named Ennis. I guess he told the kids that no his middle name did NOT start with a P. I am guessing he been teased before.lol
I always love the notes parents send in with the teachers name written on it. The spellings get to be interesting. Fanning became Fanny. Mastel became Mescal, but I will say the guy owned a bar.
This is not a teacher one, but I knew a woman with Butts as her last name. I also knew a man named Toots. We always giggled when we thought of what would happen if they were to marry and hyphenate the name.

In 1st grade I had a teacher I loved named Mrs. Hammond. My brother would get me so upset by calling her Mrs. Ham and eggs.

No one has posted yet on German/Jewish names. I heard once on NPR that years and years ago, Germans made all the Jews buy German last names. The rich ones got names like "Rosenbloom"; the poor ones were assigned last names that were offensive/vulgar. Can anybody confirm this?

I think I might deny this one. We were Goldbergs and we have always been told that somewhere in the famly line probably a blacksmith who lived on a hill was told he must take a last name and not use "Abraham son of Joshua" as was customary but an honest to goodness last name (with Polish influence in my family's case) so they used trade names and locations for last names. So if you had a trade that was not the most glamorous it might be that you wouldn't like the name. On both sides of my family the names got changed when they went through ellis Island anyway! The name taker told my GGfather that Goldberyzinski was too long, and my Grandmother's side they suggested Collins instead of Cohen for our protection.

Hijack over!

In 4th grade I had Mr. Podgorny. Of course we called him Mr. Popcorny.

We have a few between my 2 campuses:

Mr. Blood
Mr. Crabb
Mrs. Broom
Ms. Gentle


The kids think they're funny...anyway!

Mrs. Broom is a janitor at my kids' school.

My worst was a college teacher named Dr. Balls. Not "Ball"..."Balls."

Here is a sweet story: I had a client with the last name of "Dick." He had a couple of kids. When his daughter went to middle school, the teasing was terrible, so my client went to court and changed everyone's name to "Dickson." Isn't that a nice thing for a father to do?

At a church I went to as a kid there was Richard Dick and a Richard Dick Jr....of course the nickname for Richard is Dick so that is what the father was known by...then when the son was born he was named after the father so they became known as Big Dick and Little Dick....when I was growing up everytime I would hear someone call them or talk about them as Big DIck and Little Dick it was all I could do not to burst out laughing!
My firends daughter has a kindergarten teacher named Mrs Chickytucktoe-pronounce as it is written chicky tuck toe- and she wanted the kids to say her full name- well now many kindergarten kids say "F" in place of "T" so you can figure out how some little ones would pronounce it!

One of the guidence councilors at DD high school is Ms Slabbekorn(had to get the handbook for spelling). At DS school two of the kindergarten teachers are Ms Fritts and Ms Pitts.

I worked at a counseling center and one of the dr.s names was Dr. Weiner (Weener). I could never refer to him as that . I always pronounced it Dr. Wayner to his clients. I know I know How childish of me.
I called him by his first name when I saw him.

My kids also have a Mrs. Blood in their elementary school. My 7th grade History teacher in RI was Mr. Hecker (rhymes with and acted like).

 

[DebbieTN]

The principal at my daughters elementary school was also Mrs. Butts. I do data entry for a collection agency so I see so many funny names. Today there as man with the last name Funke. I'm glad his first name wasn't weird. Women can also change their names when they marry, but a man will have his name all his life. What are some parents thinking when they name their sons. I also wonder why so many people give their sons double names like William Williams, Robert Roberts, Richard Richards. I think it's strange.

I almost forgot, my DD's music teacher's name was Mrs. Horneyman then she got divorced and took back her maiden name, Ms.Dilcoxson. No lie

 

[LittleMissMickey]

I went on a date once with a guy with the last name of Wilfahrt. In a sense, his name was a complete sentence, _________ Will Fart. He said it was torture during high school sports. As a teacher, I just couldn't let the relationship progress, so yes, I have stopped dating a guy for his horrible last name. I talked to the teachers in the lounge about it one day, and one said, "Just hyphenate!" and then we realized that then it would just be a more specific complete sentence... Poor guy.

 

[M&M's]

My last name rhymes with a female body part (think a Seinfield episode). When I teach the upper grades, I go my Ms. B. In fact I had to write up an 8th grade student because he was saying the rhymed word with accompanying hand motions.

When I do the younger kids, I go by my full name.

Is it Bolores?
