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').

It must be an English thing (Wayne King = Wanking (Jerking Off)). She didn't realise until she was talking about her husband with some tourists from the UK and they saw her name badge.
We laughed about that for days and days.
