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 work for an ambulance company and one of the doctors we deal with everyday (who happens to be a cardiologist) is Dr. Plack....He is a GREAT doctor but it is kind of funny how he is a cardiologist who does heart surgery (and one of those is removing plack from the arteries) and that his last name is the same as his profession. :coolsmile:

Another bloke I was at school with : Clive Dunn. One for the "Dad's Army" fans. And no, I don't recall ever asking him if his parents were aware.
There was also a photograhers of the early 20th C. by the name of De'Ath. Don't know if they ever branched out into the funeral business, mind.
I seem to recall that in the 1600's, a popular christian name was "Lettuce". Heaven knows why.

This isnt rude but my daughters teacher is called Mr Oakey (Okey Dokey, Hokey Pokey, voice was croaky, drank some cokey, gave his wife a nice long pokey while he had a quick strokey) - you can tell we have lots of jokies...I mean jokes about this at home). Every time someone mentions his name she cant help bursting out in smile but is at least polite enough not to say anything. Unlike her mother who blurts this out on the web!

I was in navy boot camp with a guy named Sean Stain. His rank was Seaman, hence his hilarious title, Seaman Stain.

This morning I was doing paperwork for a closing and one of the sellers' first name was Smilie. Her parents must have been hippies.

When I was in college I worked at a bank. There was a young couple that were customers there. His name was Dusty and her name was Sandy. Their last name was Rhodes. I always thought they were made for each other!

THERE IS A SHOP IN KUANTAN , EAST COAST OF PEN. MALAYSIA CALLED :
FOOK YEW TRADING

FOOK YEW TRADING
Here in Israel we have a man who hosts E!-style TV programs named Guy Pines, pronounced "Penis". The Coen Brothers joke about him in the commentery of "The Man Who Wasn't There" DVD. They say he insists on telling people to pronounce it "Penis" and not "PY-inz". Go figure. They also mention a reporter named Hans Fuck.
Pines is a surname of quite a few people here. We even have a place called "Kfar Pines", which I guess can be translated to "Penis Village".

We have a man here named Dr. Richard (Dick) Dickenhorst...with a last name like that, you would think his parents would have tried for a better first name.

I know if a guy, owner of an investment management boutique, called Micheal Coward. Imagine someone entrusting a guy called this with their money. Also, I work in sales and in my database I had a prospect called John Butt. I never really got to courage to cald call him 😊.

Another one i remembered. Ms Paiement, working as accountant.

A guy from Italy called Piero Pascarelli moved to Helsinki, Finland, and after a while decided he had to change his name. Why? Because 'pieru' in Finnish means 'fart' and 'paska' means 'shit'. Anywhere he introduced himself people would assume it was some kind of a joke and look funny at him.

Fans of European football and particularly the Championship Manager series of computer games might recall the Brazilian footballer named Argel.
Although it is common for south American footballers to be referred to by their nicknames, Argel was probably keener than most to be called by his nickname as his real name was Argelico Fucks.
