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.

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.
