Answer 1

Try to change your attitude if you can.

Middle school can be such a pain.

Why make yourself miserable for 3 years?

After all, if it&#039;s good enough for Hannah Montana, you can do it too!

Answer 2

Talk to your teacher and she just wont call out your full name anymore. She will understand.

Answer 3

Become a rapper, you&#039;ll be dope!!!

Answer 4

Ask the teacher if she can just read out ur first name because u find it embarrassing. If u have a stubborn teacher who refuses, say how it makes u sad and u are picked on about it. If she still refuses, do nothing but look sad for the rest of the day until she hopefully gives in or one of the other teachers c u and ask what is wrong, tell em ur problem and maybe they will talk 2 ur teacher.

GL!

Answer 5

Hmm i have a last name ppl made fun of but if u look like it doesnt bother u, like keeping a blank face hopefully ppl will let it go..

Answer 6

If you have a middle name, why don&#039;t you try going by it?

Or try going by just Nan.

Or-- just pick out a simple name to have people start calling you-- might be best if it&#039;s close to Nan-- like Nannette or Annette, etc, etc.

If you do this-- be careful-- pick out a name you&#039;d like to be called when you&#039;re 20 years old, when you&#039;re 40, when you&#039;re a mom, a grandma, etc.

Answer 7

change it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

Whats your middle name? Maybe go by that.

Or go by Ana if that doesnt rhyme anymore?

or add an extra letter on your last name, or get rid of one from like:

Nana Melana

Ana Melan.

Hope it helps xx

Answer 9

Um...no offense but if my first name was Nana I would change it regardless of the last name. Sorry! You poor thing.

Answer 12

Be proud and own your name. I wish mine rhymed, you know like Julia Goolia from the wedding singer that ROCKS.

Answer 13

I don&#039;t think it&#039;s extremely bad. It&#039;s pretty bad though that the class is entertained everyday by something like that. It must be middle school cause kids in middle school are immature and feed on anything that will bring them up in any way. Some are like that in HS too. People are laughed at everyday in school for looks, personality, etc. and you&#039;re lucky to have it be something like your name. Just chill.

P.S. Wth is wrong with your teacher? She calls roll everyday? She needs to get it together and start remembering her student&#039;s names. If it&#039;s too hard for her she shouldn&#039;t be teaching. She&#039;s probably teaching you invalid stuff cause of her inability to remember anything they tried to teach her in college...lol

Answer 14

i know this guy whos name rhymes and i reckon its super awesome...i wish my name rhymed. keep it...its makes you YOU!!!!!

who cares wat every1 else thinks...it makes u different and more interesting!!!

PLEASE keep it...i think its COOL as!

Answer 15

Tell your parents how everyone laughs and ask if it would bother them if you changed your name. Parents like to name their kids so its a sensitive issue but if they hear that it is making life hard for you they might understand. If they tell you you can&#039;t change your name, I would go up to the teachers before role is called and ask them not to call your name. I am a teacher and I&#039;ve had kids ask me not to call their name before. Its no big deal. I just mark them present and no one notices that I didn&#039;t call their name.

Answer 16

Don&#039;t look depressed all day about it! Like another poster said, just sit up straight, and look confident and just act as you normally would when the teacher calls out your name. Eventually people will get sick of trying to laugh at you or make fun of you, because you&#039;ll be ignoring them.

Honestly, i can recall being in, or witnessing, similar situations. Almost as soon as the person being teased loses interest, so does everyone else.

Hope this helps!

Answer 17

Do you have a middle name...maybe you could start hyphenating your first and middle name??
