STUDENT GETS IN TROUBLE OVER NAME ON JERSEY

What's in a name? Ask Chicago Cubs 15 year-old fan Jill Howe.

The high school student had to remove her Kosuke Fukudome jersey and wear a gym T-shirt to class Wednesday because of a misunderstanding about how to pronounce the All-Star right-fielder's last name.

"Someone stopped me in the hall and asked me what the back of my jersey said," Jill said.

She replied that it was the name of Cubs player, pronounced foo-koo-DOUGH-may. The school staffer wasn't so sure and consulted others.

Then a dean, Susan Matei, told Howe the jersey was inappropriate. Matei made Jill take it off and wear a gym shirt instead.

Jill called her mother after school to tell her what happened.

"She's a big Cubs fan, and we got the jersey at Dick's Sporting Goods," said Jill's mom, Nancy Howe. "We were going to get a Kerry Wood one, but it cost more."

Nancy Howe called Matei, who confirmed what happened.

"I told her anyone's last name can be misconstrued," Nancy Howe said.  By late afternoon, common sense -- and proper pronunciation -- prevailed.

Associate Principal Alan Flota said students may wear Fukudome apparel at school.

"As long as it is a legitimate name, they will be allowed to wear it," Flota said.

Jill said she could see how the misunderstanding happened.  Students occasionally purposefully mispronounce Fukudome's last name, she said.

"Some people like to be stupid about it."
