To wonder if my teachers still dread getting a child in their class with my name!?

[SwichL10]

Ok, I was awful at school, I had the worst attitude and I was rude. Everything a teacher doesn't want. My name isn't popular at all, only 10 born with the name this year! It's a very old lady name... I was at school 5 years ago. I wonder if they ever dread seeing a child with my name come into their class, I mean the chances of it happening is quite slim, but still btw, I regret my behaviour, before I get a telling off!

They get tarred

DH is the 4th of 4 boys, poor bugger was tarred.

There are 7 children in my small town with the same weird surname (we are in Spain, the surname isn't Dpanish). Fortunately they are dispersed throughout 3 schools and DS is the only one in his, i wouldn't want them thinking 'oh dear god, it's another Conyo!'

My old teacher was a complete bitch too my daughter. I wouldn't care she's lovely unlike me this was reception she's in year 6 now and I'm still fucking homicidal cross about it.

Doris?

I found it interesting when I taught the child of a former pupil who had been a bit of a handful herself. She was certainly giving her Mum the same runaround that the Mum had given her own parents.

I also have had a run in with a previous bully from primary school. Her Mum lives in our street and she looks after the bully's DD while she's at work. She came to collect her DD after she'd come to play at our house one day.

I didn't mention anything about my own experience with her. But she immediately started by asking if her DD had been good. And that she was a bit of a handful. Then said 'It's karma I suppose. She's very cheeky and rude at home."

Gertrude?
Eleanor?
Tell us!

Thank you - It could have been because I took a grass snake into the classroom and it escaped, now I come to think about it.

Come on, fess up to the name!

Ethel? Mildred? Martha?

Some surnames can fill a staff room with dread -"we have another xxxx starting" can sometimes be met with groans. I did a teaching practice at ExH's primary school - one of the first questions asked by some older members of staff was "are you related to ?" I got the impression that their memories were not positive.

Oh, is that one of those thinly disguised guess my name for no good reason thread? Once the op feels she has had enough pleading for the big reveal, there will be a tremendously unhelpful clue along the lines of 'Like Ermintrude (but not Ermintrude).

And so it will go on until everyone starts to get bored and the op will reveal her name is Brunhilda and everyone will fall over themselves to say what a lovely name Brunhilda is and how there's a lovely little Brunhilda from their sister's NCT class.

I like Cora, but apparently it's a "granny" name.

Hazel?

Ha! My older sister was the gobshite the teachers dreaded, when I came along in the following year group I had almost every single teacher ask 'How on earth are you related?' because I was so bloody good by comparison

You're a Weasley, right? 😜

nah, it's me the teachers worry about.

(dcs with additional needs and I insist that they make reasonable adjustments for their needs. )
