About a year ago Iowa Public Television (which I get on my cable TV in Omaha, since Iowa is right across the river) showed the Italian romantic comedy miniseries "Love, Inevitably" where a travel agent from Rome and a flamenco dance instructor from Seville, Spain meet accidentally in Prague, and then have the experience of seeing each other's ghostly doppelganger when they return home. The woman is named Candela, and never having run across that name before my image of a Candela is now dominated by that character, who was a beautiful but somewhat scatterbrained person (as would be normal for the heroine of a romantic comedy.)

I suppose children could be bullied about any word easily associated with a name, but I really don't see how the word "candle" would be one of the worse such words to be teased about. What could other kids say about candles that would be really hurtful?
