Strangely I put some thought in to this. I gave my kids latino sounding names and I was hoping that my kids would be slightly darker skin. I'm not particularly white and I can pass for a latino and my brother in law is about the same. Unfortunately my kids turned out blond with green and blue eyes, despite neither me nor my wife having blue or green eyes.

I was not planning to make my kids tell lies or anything stupid like that but just leave it to the imagination of the teacher.
