During the first week of school, each of the girls was
supposed to pick an English name for themselves.
To keep them from having to think too hard, I gave them a list to choose
from. They were also able to come up
with their own or use an English name they already had. The only rule was that they could not be for example Angelina Jolie, but instead could be Angelina, or Jolie (since both are really
first names). Beyonce is so unique as a
name that I told them I refused to call anyone that, to their disappointment.
So for the most part, the girls chose typical names like
Angelica, Maxine, and Leticia (yeah, I had to throw one in). They were too shy to do a formal
introduction, so I wrote a sentence on the board that they could use as a
script. It said, “Hello. My name is (Korean name), but you can call me
(English name).” I thought I had checked
everyone’s for legitimacy until my one student stood up. She is shorter than the rest of the girls and
really sweet in her disposition. Just as
articulately as she could she said, “Hello my name is (Korean name), but you
can call me Lucifer.”
Now when I tell you that I was trying not to laugh….! I still struggle at the thought. Where did she get that? It was not on the list. Do you know it took me three weeks to be able
to look at her without thinking, “There’s Lucifer.” Needless to say, we had to get her another
name. Maybe Beyonce wasn't such a bad
choice after all.
