Unfortunate Last Names

I've always thought my last name was pretty bad. And I mean that in the literal sense. 'Boese' means 'bad' (or angry) in German. But its meaning wouldn't matter much if only English-speaking people could pronounce it (it's 'burr-za', as if it had an 'r' in it... not 'boose'). But I shouldn't feel too sorry for myself, because this guy in Brazil, Mr. Reinhardt Adolfo Fuck, has me beat hands down. As far as I can tell, that really is his name. He must get endless jokes about it.

I know of a fellow whose name is Richard with the surname of Shivels. To add insult to injury he lives in Coldwater, Ontario. He has a great sense of humour so he had business cards made up.

"Dick Shivels in Coldwater"

I went to college with a guy named Hung How. He'd joke his middle name was "and".
Also used to work with a genuine Mike Hunt at a car dealer. We paged everyone else's phone calls by their name, but Mike's calls were paged "lube bay."

A resume came through an office I once worked as a temp. The fellow's name was Rahsmin Dickshit. He might have been highly qualified - I wanted to call him and tell him to alter his last name.

By coincidence, I recently received an email containing a snippet out of 'The Sun' newspaper in London quoting the story of a Mr Russell Peacock who named his baby son 'Drew'. He didn't realise his mistake until he entered the name into an internet search engine in the hope of finding someone famous with that name and instead, was asked: "Do you mean Droopy C**k?". Amusingly, his work buddies also, soon began calling him "droopy's dad!"

A friend of mine goes by the last name Damm.
So there are two possible ways of pronounciation in english. "Damn" or "Dumb". Both not very lucky.

Additionaly if called in french "Monsieur Damm" it is pronounced like "Monsieur Dames" which means "Mister Madames".

My aunt married a man whose last name was "Raper." The bad thing is she teaches high school English, so they had to call her Mrs. Raper. They have long since divorced... I wonder why.

My mom is also a teacher and a parent of one of her kids is named Crystal Ball.

One adress on my paperroute was of a mr Willem Cornelis Bril, so the sign on his door spelled "WC Bril", which means toiletseat in Dutch.

I've got one.... I once knew a woman named Candy Barr. Her parents named her that on purpose because they thought it was "clever". They also purposely did not give her a middle name.
