I'm a primary school teacher and today I took a closer look at the names on the class lists of current and former years. Some of them are quite unusual. What do you think of them? (Please keep in mind that these are names used in Belgium, next to some names I wrote the right pronunciation, how we pronounce it in Dutch)
