Your English name is what?!
I don't think this category needs much of an explanation. On to the finalists!
#10
#10English Name: "Killy"
Bold, but intimidating. I don't know if I could date a girl named Killy, although perhaps we could be professional acquaintences.
It was a few days before I figured out she must have meant "Kelly". I think I like Killy better.
#9
Name: "Yang Zhuofu"
English name: "Mr. Yang"
10 points for ingenuity, but I don't think I'm going to be calling you "Mr. Yang" all semester, sorry.
#8
English Name: "Shardow"
"Hello Jackson! My Chinese name is Yan Yu, and my English name is Shardow. I'm very like the moonlight shardow, and I know there is a song which name is ‹‹Moon-Light Shardow›› I want to learn English well, to make myself speak English well."
Wow, with a well reasoned argument like that, how can I not let her keep the name "Shardow"? Although, I wonder in what ways she is actually like the moonlight shardow.
#7
English Name: "Yoko"
At least we can all agree that this name is not Chinese. 'A' for effort.
**Bonus Points**
+1 for using the word "English" five times in four sentences.

"My English name is Toothpick."
**Bonus Geek Points**
Questions: "Do you know 'Warth of the Lich King'?"
These two are pretty much exactly like their cards sound.
#5English name: "Super Man"
This guy has since chosen a new name, but I still call him "Superman". Wouldn't you?
#4English Name: "Dar Drap"
Wow, it's a good thing you changed that. You almost called yourself "Darp". That would have been silly.
#3English Name: "Beautiful"
Well, now, someone has a high opinion of themselves.
#2English Name: " 'Camus "
What? 'Camus?? Did you just pick random English letters and put them together? And what about that apostrophe? How do you even say this name?? Ridiculous.
And Finally, Coming in at #1:
Possibly my favorite card in all of my classes. It's just so unobtrusive.
5 comments:
oops. What I said was, these are fast becoming my favorite people ever.
maybe 'Camus is going for bonus philosopher points?
I taught in Xuchang back in 2007 and I also had a student named Superman. But that student was female. And refused to change her name when I suggested it.
Camus is a band member's name from a Japanese comic, Death Metal City.
