In the invented random names category: Quintoria. I had a world history class with her, and my friends and I came up with various fifth-child theories, but I don’t think that numbers or logic had much to do with this one.

Also, Rotunda…the possibilities for weight-related jokes are endless, aren’t they? My mother also taught elementary school spanish, and in organizing her various school materials I found some weird ones. In the pretentiously misspelled category: Hevaughnleigh…and to make matters even worse, her brother is named Skielarh. There was also an inexplicable tendency to give poor, unwitting children names that seemed more suited to dogs: Princess, Duke, Buster, etc.
