elementary school kid names

[flea]

Children from Casper's school who have art in display at the University this month (ages K-5th grade):
Laura
Aleshia
Kiara
Davion
Ty’Quavious
Cristina & Kenya (probably siblings)
Ziah
Carolina
Quindarius
Kim
Danarius
Victor
Haleema
Shaqrius & Shycrius (probably siblings - how do they pronounce the names so they sound different, I wonder - "shack" and "shy"?)
Juan
Elizabeth
Jordan
Stacey
Uriel
Ty’Dria
Jetssiri
Tiger Lili
A warning to anyone making assumptions about ethnicity based on naming style - I don't know any of these kids personally (I think they are mostly in the older grades), but I did have the last names, and basically, the names are all over the map, as far as Anglo name plus Latino last name, African-American style name plus Latino last name, Latino name plus Anglo/Afam last name. Make no assumptions about what a given kid would look like!

There are (were) several Kermit Roosevelts - son, grandson, great-grandson, and great-great grandson (the last being our age: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kermit_Roosevelt_III) of Teddy. I also went to prep school with a (different) Kermit, who was a III or IV or something as well.
