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.

Also went to school with a pre-med student by the name Lance Peters. Obviously, he was interested in urology. I wonder what ever became of that dick sticker....
Really cool guy and teacher though. Sorely missed when he retired.
And a floor covering store in Oakland,CA,is called
"Linoleum Dick's." I guess it's not strictly a last name, but still funny.Also been around forever.
I had a geography teacher in high school by the name of Gaix (pronounced Gay) Guy. My mother's cousin married a man she told the family, was called Mr Peabody. It was only when he died of old age, that it was revealed that his name was really Chitty. There was a respected historian here called Dr Beaglehole - that was always my favourite.
I got suspended, starting the next year.
Blue ghost - tee hee!
