So the teacher-lady's name is "Bugsy," eh?
I'm not up on modern Brit slang so you UK residents and Anglophiles will have to help me out. Used as a name, isn't that a pet name roughly translating to American English as "snuggle-bunny?"
Therefore, should I speculate that she was also named accidentally before graduation? Possibly by a very extra-special friend?

I wouldn't mind being Bugsy's "extra-special friend". Just saying.
I'm not familiar with that as a pet name though (from back when I lived in England).

It's weird I keep having the impression we saw Him Too much earlier in some other chapter.

Proooooooobably just a funny coincidence but Bugsy is also the gym leader (male in this case and specializes in Bugs) of Azalea Town in Pokemon G/S/C. Azalea Town lies partly in/next to Ilex Forest which houses a shrine to the fairy-like pokemon Celebi.

Also I've lived in area that is also "Up North" in England for almost all my life and as such I'd expect the same or similar slang terms and never heard Bugsy except for when referencing to Bugsy Malone the Film. |

Seems like a good enough time to speculate on what all the boys used to be.
That Guy: Deerboy!
This Guy: he's so generically cute... maybe a mouse or something? A sparrow?
Him Too: Badgerboy!
Him: some kind of bird I'd guess. His hair is flipping FABULOUS.
And Him: Hedgehogboy! I say we call him Prickles.
A Fish Guy?: obvious. More specifically though probably some kind of bass since he's green.
That One: gotta be a woodpecker. Dat nose.
Also that bald-ish kid at the bottom looks like Christopher Eccleston, which made me think for a moment that the Ninth Doctor had somehow got himself enrolled in a fairy class. The image of the Doctor enthusiastically quizzing girls about their hair made me laugh.

[I've never heard it either except with regard to the character from the movie/musical. But I am extremely uncool in addition to being not from the UK.] Not that I'm defending it, but I did run some fast searches on definition sites and wiki which led me to some open searches. The most common use of "Bugsy" by average joes seems to be pet bunny names, possibly derived from Bugs Bunny. I also found a child's toy or stuffed rabbit, and a main rabbit character from an obscure video game. Most of the definitions matched up with rabbit though an interesting take on that in one was, "someone who hides from reality like a bunny hides in its hole." There were also two girlfriend-related derivatives. One was a girl who becomes too clingy or controlling through being whiny and possessive. I am guessing from context the other one means "energetic" and I can easily see how that one could be yelled out accidentally. |

The same as cuddle-bug?  Though it would be a little mind-boggling how one would stand out in this regard among the Foley kids who made an etheric cuddlepile just because they felt like welcoming? ;D Thank goodness for this guide or I'd *never* have been able to keep all those ninnyhammers. (And this kind of thing is totally how I refer to people in my head before I learn/remember their names...and sometimes after, too.) We'd just have to use hair colours. DarkSlateBlue, Turquoise, and so on. This Other One is kind of cute Aye. Also fun, she and "Her Too" with The Wonderful Plan. |

Maybe "Bugsy" was, literally, a bug?  Or a rabbit (as per the Bugs Bunny comment). Or maybe she just has bug-eyed glasses? |

I laughed far to hard at "Token." If I haven't said so already, welcome to the forums! I almost went with "Sonic" but decided this was way funnier even if it wasn't very original. Speaking of alternates, I invite anyone who wishes to copy that pic and drop in different funny names. Bonus points if you add a cartoon pic of yourself. The same as cuddle-bug? Though it would be a little mind-boggling how one would stand out in this regard among the Foley kids who made an etheric cuddlepile just because they felt like welcoming? ;D Luckily my brain immediately jumped to those possibilities where pet names might be yelled out. Think much smaller pile.  Maybe "Bugsy" was, literally, a bug? Or a rabbit (as per the Bugs Bunny comment). Or maybe she just has bug-eyed glasses? Welcome to the forums, Laylajune! On further reflection maybe I pooh'd the Bugsy Malone ref too soon. I just didn't see any immediate connection to or similarity with Bugsy the Teacher-Lady but maybe the clue was in the dialog. Possibly the fairies were trained to speak by watching old movies? There would be virtue in using movies where the old code was still in force if you're using them for language lessons for kids, and that would explain what I think is the old-timey American accent and the slang. Thus "Bugsy" would've conveyed a position of authority and it might indeed have come from the naming guy at graduation. |

Hi there, I'm finally delurking! Speaking about names, is it possible that there are some correlations between forest naming conventions and Jones? I mean, coyote once asked her whether "Jones" is a name that she has "stolen" or not. Again, what's the actual deal with names and Forest inhabitants? I don't think it's just a lightly given rite of passage. |

Maybe "Bugsy" was, literally, a bug? Sharp ears. Looking at the rest of Foley kidz - probably she was a fairy. Luckily my brain immediately jumped to those possibilities where pet names might be yelled out. Think much smaller pile. Like this? Possibly the fairies were trained to speak by watching old movies? They would probably know what those sitty-downy things are. Unless they'd watch Buffy or something like dat. ;D Speaking about names, is it possible that there are some correlations between forest naming conventions and Jones? I mean, coyote once asked her whether "Jones" is a name that she has "stolen" or not. I won't discard the possibility after everything we saw so far. Maybe she indeed collects names all year, then solemnly gives out some to graduating Foleys. |

Also delurking just to say this:
Am I the only person here seeing quite a bit of influence of Scary Go Round's Desmond the Fish Boy in.. well.. Fish Guy? The resemblance is uncanny, apart from SGC's being more green and having a fin rather than hair.
