Supply Teacher giggling at name of child in class

[everythingflies]

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.

Sometimes you have to turn the laugh of disbelief into a cough.
Believe me, I have been introduced to Breeze and Haze.

I know you have changed the name to protect the identity. Tbh yes they should remain professional, but then if the actual name is Custard Cream or Jammy Dodger then I can see why they can't keep a straight face.

Could be an even worse biscuit name. Like Garibaldi.

Mr and Mrs Tea did their boy no favours calling him Rich.

And the same could be said for Mr and Mrs Gestive and their lovely daughter Di.

Not to mention the Vitas and their son Ray.

And as for poor little Jimmy Dodger ( thanks @ShallIstart )

Yes exactly.
And as another poster said, it’s wrong to laugh at a child’s name, as is, op putting the name on here, for entertainment!

I don't find it a ridiculous or remotely funny name and I have a good sense of humour. It is just a name - i honestly cannot see anything funny or I would laugh. It would not bother me if I had that name. I do think the teacher was out of order and unprofessional laughing, even if it had been a strange or funny name. Why would you risk giving a chid a complex about their name??

There was a Tudor in my grammar school in the mid 60s.

Were. Not was. And I’m not saying this to be a self righteous pedant but because I don’t like the idea of someone going around life being judged for something they probably were not taught correctly from infancy.

I did actually go to school with a Garry Baldi, but not in my year.

cruel of the teacher, but not as cruel as a parent calling their child Bourbon ffs

Maybe it was Bourbon Bourbon.

Surely the parents are the ones at fault for naming their child after a biscuit?

Did this happen in the middle of August?

Very amusing without being nasty.

It's possible for both the parents and the teacher to be at fault. Parents giving an ill-advised name does not actually make it necessary for a teacher to laugh at it in front of the child.

Would of thought many posters realised this, but chose not to correct this poster.

Oh, I was thinking whiskey?

Just like well educated posters should say would have rather than would of?

There are typos caused by fat fingers, screens and speed. Would of is not one of them.

This was a first name. Surname was pretty generic (Smith, Jones, etc)

Oh dear, do you feel better, now you’ve got that off your chest.
F.Y.I, l never professed, to be well educated, l just know it’s rude and unnecessary to correct people’s grammar, when you know exactly what they meant.
But there we go, there’s always, one, or two, who think, putting other’s down, make them more superior🙄

I do apologise, I thought you were criticising the op. I see now it was a previous poster.

@RosesAndHellebores That’s ok, thank you for the apology.

OP buggered off, clearly embarrassed by their massive over reaction.

No into scared to these Airheads clearly don't realise babies have to grow up and go out into the world saddled with what ever name the airhead give them

Eh? OP is obviously the teacher (if this isn't a WUT).

The parents clearly did not like that kid d calling it bourbon lol
