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 went to college at the U. of South Carolina (the Fighting Gamecocks -- and trust me, I've probably heard everything you can hear about that. Our yell is "Go Cocks!"). There was a girl named Loni Mustard. She married a guy who had the last name of Pickles. Her name, today, is Loni Mustard Pickles. And that's just unfortunate.

I work in market research. We are still chuckling about the doctor named Richard Kisser. Think about the most common nickname for Richard, and you will wonder, as I do, how the poor guy made it through middle school. And what were his parents thinking?

Maths teacher at my old school? Mr. A.Mount. Also, in Ashford,Kent, there's a dentist named I.Chew. Oh, and I knew a bloke named Ian Kuntz. Yes, pronounced like that.

I know a few good ones, a cousin's friend named "Assin Butt", and a man named "Bob Loblaw."

Along the same vein as the name discussed by Teresa, I had a boyhood friend named Harold Dick...you can see where that led!! Eventually his mother remarried and he was able to change it before he graduated from HS. My teenaged daughter swears that she once had a substitute teacher whose name was Ms. Cunt. I never really beleived that one.
