Children's Names Today

Children’s names are not common any more, Parents do not want their children to be plebeians. I cannot pronounce most of them. They are unique, like their child - gifted names, Created by enterprising parents who did not want them to be plain in any way. I get corrected a lot, by the whole class when I mispronounce Zyrahietta and Jostra’blend. Their peers, who know how to say it now, yell it out in an exasperated way. Thinking it funny that I do not know them yet. We have been in school three days. Teachers learn twenty-five names a year. The support staff is more successful when we learn all three hundred. We are sunk if we do not, as even the plebeians respond to their name.
