Not necessarily. There are two ways a teacher having a weird name can go.

1 - They command no respect and end up ruthlessly mocked by the kids, becoming ineffectual at their job.
2 - The instant they walk into class, they strike the fear of god into the kids.

In the case of 2, you don't even need to shout, just look them in the eye and make them blink first.

The correct spelling is "millefeuille"; it's a French pastry. See https://www.bonappetit.com/entertaining-style/trends-news/article/millefeuille.

It’s been previously established that Sam attends Pioneer Valley Performing Arts school, which is very much a non-traditional school.

Insert story here about a former high school teacher I know whose last name is Kickasola. He definitely took option 2.

Or a friend whose chemistry professor at the University of Wisconsin was named Huc Yu. He took option 3, which was to make the joke himself the first day of class to get it out of the way. “Good morning. My name is... HUC YU!!!”

As the medieval lord told his second son, "mille-feuille."
