<p>So i was just wondering what kids from various schools are called.</p>

<p>Most of us know that kids that go to exeter are called Exonians, kids that go to Eton are etonians, kids that go to andover are phillipians … what about the other schools ?</p>

<p>Are people that go to groton called groinians ??</p>

<p>And people that go to Hotchkiss Hotchonians ?? or kissonians ? </p>

<p>Deerfield … deerfonians ? or fieldonians ?</p>

<p>Hopkins school … hopkonians ?</p>

<p>harvard WL … harvornians ? (by the way what are harvard grads called ?)</p>

<p>the school of hard knox … Knoxonians ? </p>

<p>Ha this should be interesting!</p>

<p>hahaha this is funny but i know not all schools follow the “ion”
for example kids that go to taft are called tafties or sometimes rhinos?</p>

<p>and i remember there was a nickname for middlesex kids too but i’m not sure what it was…</p>

3

<p>haa oh don’t get me started on tafties, ha they have the unfortunate position of having an agnomen theat rhymes with daft, daft taft, dafty tafties ! But yeah.</p>

4

<p>We’re called Phillipians? That’s really very original…</p>

5

<p>St. Paul’s kids are Paulies</p>

6

<p>Man I just love Groinians !! What’s even better is that it used to be a boys school … I am not saying anything! I am not a beliver in innuendo… at least I think I am not.</p>

7

<p>Thacher toads! lol.</p>

<p>Andoverians?? Andies?</p>

8

<p>choaties all the way!!!

<p>EXONIANS rock!</p>

10

<p>Stanford’s was the "too bad you didn’t go"ians</p>

11

<p>lol
tenchar</p>

<p>Well if that’s the case at Standford Harvard’s name is ‘man we don’t even need a cool sounding name because all we have to do is say the word harvard and you guys fall all over yourself’ ians ! Ha on a mroe serious note I had Stannies in mind for stanford, and harrovians for harvard grads (I know that’s a rip off from harrow but the english stole the light bulb from us didn’t they ?? )</p>

13

<p>grotonians actually=]</p>

14

<p>I go to Stevenson, and we just call ourselves…“stevenson students”…or pirates (our mascots) if we’re feeling crazy…</p>

15

<p>Aww man now i will have to go through life saying ‘Soo… you are a groinian? OH i am sorry i meant a grotonian’! Feigning ignorance for the sake of humor! A sad life really.</p>

16

<p>Well, technically we’re Phillips Academy, shore so it makes sense. It’s just that ruddy what’sitcalled name-stealing school that made it confusing. But we’re Phillipians because we had first claim.</p>

17

<p>apparently groton’s actually pronounced like “grawton” lol i think “growton” is better but wtv</p>

<p>groinians. NICE XD</p>

18

<p>I was being sarcastic about how original Phillipians was!</p>

19

<p>Ha you guys at stevensons should call yourself Steven’s Sons and/or Steven’s daughters ! Yeah I know that’s pretty lame but it sure as heck beats ‘Stevensons students’ !</p>

<p>Harvard students are Harvardians, though no one actually says that.</p>
