All I remember is that in eighth grade world history, we did nothing but make fun of his name (the teacher did nothing but encourage us).

My granddad also derives a lot of amusement from this name.

We used to make fun of Cincinnatus in 8th or 9th grade Latin because it sounds like kinky. What's funny about Nebuchadnezzar? Just the length/grandiosity, or something else?

I think the teacher changed the slide, someone saw the name, snorted, and said, "imagine 6 year old him trying to spell that for the teacher," and it escalated
