Teacher BAs
From this school year (these are the ones I know about, but my newspaper hasn't done a birth announcement article):
Elle Doll (Doll was mom's maiden name)
Mackenzie Lynn (f. I plan on asking what the thought was behind this name tomorrow during Fish Bowl)
and just yesterday or the Tuesday, my psych teacher had a son, Nathan. I don't know his middle name yet, but the second I heard the name I thought the combo "Nathan Lee". And then I remembered that was my teacher's first name. ;p Hopefully I'll find out the mn soon, and we'll see how psychic I am. One of my friends said "He should nave named him Connor. Get it, Connor *onner?" (yeah, haha, the names rhyme. She's brilliant ;D)
From last school year (in the school news):
Grace Irene
Joshua William
Gretchen Lorraine (siblings are Grace and Garrett, and she has the same surname as a more famous Gretchen. The parents DID make a point to give them all G names.)
Meagan Amanda (has three older siblings, I don't know their names, but apparently all their names are Celtic / Scottish, and the middle names honor family)
Andrew Richard
William Raymond (both names honor)
Anthony James "AJ" (Anthony is a family name)
Nicholas Richard
Mason (no middle names listed)
*Also, at the time the article was made, there were two teachers expecting babies. One of them had two daughters already, Catherine and Charlotte. The teacher's name is Christopher. The other teacher had a daughter named Brooke.

Elle Doll - even if it is a family name, it's terrible IMO. Elle is beautiful, great meaning, simple and a bit of a clasic so I really, really like it but I can't get over the corny 'doll'.
Mackenzie Lynn - not too bad in my opinion. A bit over used but it isn't terrible.
Nathan *possibly Lee* - I adore Nathan but only really as a nickname for Nathaniel. This would be a really good combo
Grace Irene - Irene is very outdated in my opinion but Grace in timeless and absolutely stunning
Joshua William - some might call this a bit bland but I adore both the names. I think this is an awesome combo although I would have preferred William Joshua
Gretchen Lorraine - I've always found Gretchen to be a really ugly name (very sorry to anybody who likes it!)
Meagan Amanda - blah. Was the kid born in the early 90s?
Andrew Richard - I feel that this is such a poor combo. Andrew is nice enough and can go either way but Richard is such a fuddy-duddy name that it pulls the whole thing down.
William Raymond - adore William (my number one favourite) and Raymond is alright as an honouring name
Anthony James "AJ" - it would have been great without the nickname!
Mackenzie Lynn - not too bad in my opinion. A bit over used but it isn't terrible.
