Memorable teacher names.

There was Mr and Mrs Eyeball at the my school (childish snigger)

Mr Sankey was our Primary Head. We used to call him Mr W ankey ?

We also had a Mrs Kanijo who was an ex nun who left the church becuase she fell in love with an African tribesman and married him.

At College we had an economice tutor called Mr Fidget

He was the archetypal 70's OU boffin.

at 19 I was almost sent out of the class for giggling!

Allegedly someone I know had a Miss Ing teach them. Even worse her first name was Ming.

I'm not sure I believe it though ?

We had a Mrs Zippy in primary school.

I work with a Mr Grimes, and recently one of the candidates who interviewed for the head's position was Mrs Wankling - she didn't get it thank goodness!

My primary 1 teacher was Mrs Cow

I had a teacher in primary school whose name was Cedric Zogby.

We only had one male teacher in high school and he was called Mr Dickman. ?

Oh MrKB had a teacher called Mr Willey. He now teaches at daughter's secondary school ?

?? They so should have given her the job.

And Cedric Zogby is the most randomly fantastic name I've ever heard!

Dr Washer
Mrs Ricketts
Mr Buttons
Dr Donkey

A music teacher called Mrs Battacharyia (sp), very stoud opera singer style woman, nicknamed Battery Charger

Wahahahhahaa! Apologies - we did NOT have a Dr Donkey, that was just what we called him - he was Dr Donnelly ?

At first school we had a supply teacher called Mrs Pratt.

There was also a plaque on the wall to the previous headmaster who was Mr Winterbottom. He was a regular visitor back to the school but insisted he was called Winterbotham. The staff used to call him "Seasonal Rear"

Can't believe my post has prompted this topic.

Anyway my primary school teacher was called Mr Tiddy - that sticks in my mind.

I remember students I've taught names for their strangeness much more (don't really want to post them in case I offend anyone thought).

It struck a chord because you've given thought to how you married name may impact on your working life. I often wondered why the teachers I remember didn't do the same. Although I'm not sure people should have to think about having a different name to save themselves some grief.

We had a Mr Wankling (maths teacher, girls' secondary). He was such an eccentric institution that he didn't actually get much in the way of jokes (not sure anyone would dare). Despite being hugely strict everyone loved him and he got a standing ovation when he left - never seen that before or since.

We had a PE teacher, a rather large lady, called Mrs Jelly.

We had a Mr Butt, much sniggering at that one

Mrs Moppet which was swiftly changed to Mrs Muppet but I always thought she was a lovely teacher.

We had a (lesbian) PE teacher called Miss Dykes, my mum once addressed a letter to her to Miss Dyke, luckily I noticed before I left the house ?

My secondary head was Mr Bates - hence Headmaster Bates! I hope they don't take the pi$$ out of my name in work!

My history teacher at school was (he's still there) Mr Raleigh (and yes, his first name is Walter).

When I was going around a school for an interview, I met the other teacher I would be working alongside. Her name was Mrs Snowball. She said she had to be slightly crazy to marry into that name, and I agree, she was!

My flute teacher was Mrs Blewitt

we had a pe teacher called mr traynor

In primary school we had a Mrs. Boobier, which is hysterical when you're 7 ?

When I was ten, I had a teacher called Miss Bott .. so lots of questions to her would begin "Miss Bott .. um ..." which is obviously hilarious when you're ten.

My sisters maths tutor was called Mr Muddle..............

My middle school headmaster was Mr Gay.

We had Mrs Batty, a mad old RE teacher at secondary school. And my geography teacher was called Miss Swan, but was possibly the ugliest woman you've ever seen. She could have played quasimodo with no make-up required.

My RE teacher was called Raynor Horatio Body (pronounced B O dee) - mad as a hatter and had a digital watch that he used to talk to God on

Music teacher was Mrs Beaulieu (pronounced Bay lee ooo) - always in a singing voice, used to make us laugh

We had a Mrs Batty too. She taught music and used to fast forward through the slightly risque parts of Grease.
