I substituted for a little girl (2nd grade) and accidentally read her name "Sophia" and she was so cute in correcting me. I tossed the name in the ring when we found out we were expecting, DH liked it and so we have a Sophie 🙈</p> <p>I can't even remember the names of the students that were less than stellar students. The only names I stay away from are adults who left a bad impression. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-bees-names-you-wont-use#post-2425321 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 21:53:55 +0000 Adira 2425321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: @Mrs. Peanut: Oh no!

I am surprised at how many of those I have come across.... also Tyler, Brayden ( and like said above it's many spellings &amp; rhyming names ) Madison, Mackenize ( or any of it's short forms) pretty much any girl "k" name ( other then Kate/Katherine - those were always okay ) </p> <p>There are about a million more but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-bees-names-you-wont-use#post-2424914 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 16:40:43 +0000 WinterBee 2424914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. D: So hard!

I only wouldn't use it because he is a current student - I feel like that would be weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-bees-names-you-wont-use#post-2424548 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 09:22:28 +0000 T.H.O.U. 2424548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a teacher but some names entrain an "image" of a kid that just doesn't fit the "image" you have in your mind for your kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-bees-names-you-wont-use#post-2424531 Sun, 17 Jan 2016 08:47:37 +0000 auggiefrog 2424531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So many names never made it to my list because of past/ current kiddos.

We as teachers know that every student has the potential to be AMAZING. Sometimes it just doesn't fully happen in the way we want it to. I wish each of my students the very best. It doesn't erase the bad memories or frustration though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-bees-names-you-wont-use#post-2357343 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 19:10:16 +0000 autumnlove 2357343@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My teacher friend says she can't use Charlie. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-bees-names-you-wont-use#post-2357342 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 19:09:40 +0000 808love 2357342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erinpye: yes, not horrible kids. Just horrible repeated behaviors over specific time period that leave a traumatic lasting impression affecting your future perceptions and decisions.

I had a difficult student named Morgan, but we are still going to use that as a middle name if my LO is a girl because it's a family name on DH's side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-bees-names-you-wont-use#post-2356952 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 10:55:32 +0000 808love 2356952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For every horrible experience with a kid, I know an adult with the same name that I like. So maybe when they grow up they turn out alright. (Randy, James, Christian, Dominic). ETA-I just remembered I had a few Nathans with very short tempers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/teacher-bees-names-you-wont-use#post-2356950 Sun, 15 Nov 2015 10:54:38 +0000 Jess1483 2356950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Andrew.
