The teacher? It's a woman. I've met her. I just never knew her last name.

Stirling (or Sterling) is an old-school English name. Stirling Moss is one of the best-known and most celebrated race car drivers of all time.

My pastor from when I was a teenager had a son-in-law named Stirling. His wife's name was Jane. Talk about contrasts.

I've never known anyone else with that name.

I'm not making this up. There was once a teacher in the high school in Ridgewood, NJ, whose name was Michael Grifone.

He was Mike Grifone.

I am waiting for someone to name their child by this very feminine-sounding name: Nausia.
