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.

My personal favorite is a voice actor by the name of 'Dick Smallberries Jr.' I can imagine he'd envy 'Hugh Bauls'.

There was a guy at my high school by the name of "Lucius Pusey" pronounced: "LOOSHUS POO-SAY" and the worker on the school loudspeaker had run off a list of student names [for an important school activity], yet she was unsure of how to pronounce Lucius's name, so she ended up sounding like "lus-cious p-*-s-s-y." And everybody in the whole school was cracking up laughing so hard hearing it. I'll never forget that one.

I used to work at a diner in Hollywood, FL with a girl called Jo King & her husband was called Wayne King!
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.

I worked with a guy named Richard Palmer. I didn't like him much so when I introduced him to people I always called him Dick Palmer. I though it had a lonely ring to it.
