I let my students make their own English names during an extra class and one student proceeded to name himself Gay...that's right...his English name is now Gay.
I showed them a website which explains what names mean and his friends thought it'd be funny to check the word gay. And of course...it said Gay = Happy. They all crack up and the student looks at me..."Teacher...Gay really happy?" I explain that the word gay does mean happy and that if you check in the dictionary that will come up even though now the word has more than one meaning.
"Okay...my name Gay! Happy!"
I didn't really expect him to still name himself that. -__-;; He's still my cute student and my English captain haha!
