On names of things

In Thai, R and L are difficult sounds to produce-it's quite a Sino
'carr the lestelant to oldeh fly lice' place here. There is no
aspirated final consonant, and an isolated L sound turns to N: eat pad
thai nooden at the foosbon game.
Which might be part of the Harry Potter thing- my name is just
straight contrary to the Thai tongue with the worst sort of beginning
and ending.
So it might be time to recussitate my German/1st grade name and be
Teacher Rusty next year. Because how fun would it be to have a roomful
of 4th graders calling you Teacher Lusty?
