Is it very unprofessional for a supply teacher to start giggling when taking the register in a class which they have not taught in before, because one of the children's names is "Bourbon"? Supply teacher in question is normally very professional but couldn't help themselves when hearing the name of the child.

Unprofessional yes, but the name probably took them by surprise.

Did this actually happen?

It's a bit unprofessional but honestly, that is one of the worst names I have ever heard so can see why s/he slipped up.

Weird that you have to ask.

Of course it is.

Yes it's unprofessional and unfair on the child.
