Never thought of it as a tough name to have. It's pronounced Mezzmore which is probably why. But even if his name was Mr. Poopypants he would likely have escaped the wrath of the teenagers he taught. He is a gifted educator and has a rare ability to connect with the individual while instructing the group. He, like any good leader, recognized that each person has different things that motivate them and he would teach to that.

Actually, who am I kidding, nobody could escape ridicule with the name Mr. Poopypants.

Interesting question: What's the strangest name you've encountered? Mine is our HS principal Richard Bologna. That's right, his name was Dick Baloney.
