My case was different because I taught Chinese students in China, but some of the names they picked were pretty random to say the least. I’ve had Pineapple, Unicorn and a male Susan. A girl my colleague taught called herself Boring because her Chinese name was Bao Ling (so my colleague just called her that). The one student I forced to change names was Fish. I might have been stricter if I were outside of China, or preparing students to go abroad, but since it wasn’t the case I decided this wasn’t a hill I was going to die on.
