What's in a name

Part of this week's entertainment has been creating rosters for all of my classes. Daunting, with 1200 data points to decipher from student scratch and enter into spreadsheets, but surprisingly quick work with the novelty of the nicknames. What I found most interesting was the contrast with the names in the English Programme. EP classes had at least one Gem, First, and Bright of each sex, and a Boss boy and Jewel girl. My current rosters have Aom, Bank, Arm, Hand, Fist to redundance, with the remarkable addition of at least one Beer in every class.
