Say It Again
The worst thing as a teacher is if you have a funny name or one that sounds like an obscene word. If that’s the case, you’re best off telling your students a different name entirely. It’s not worth the jokes from the children, and they’ll be laughing all year about it! You’re probably better off changing your whole name, to be honest.
There’s no accurate way of checking the number of people who change their names. Still, some sources estimate that the figure could be around 50,000 yearly. Of course, most of these people are people who get married or divorced. I wonder how many do it to stop people laughing at them.
