If you had an awful name, wouldnt you change it?
 
i just sent an email to a man with a horrible name. just awful.

i would be at the court-house or where ever they do this type of thing and i would change my name. the day, i could legally do it..

i wont type out his name, in case he ever googles it. but...it is along the lines of:
Wheldon Rumproast, or Seymore Hors..

i just heard someone in a cubicle outside my office ask.."just how does he pronounce that?"..hahahha..

would it bum out your parents to change a last name?

All the really bad names I have encountered were foreign. Mostly Chinese and Indian. I know a guy named A$h|t. And another named Dong.

Although I did see Jose Padilla's cubicle a few rows over.

I did go to school with a gal whose last name was Lipschitz.

A customer of our has a name very much like Dempsy Dumpster. Every time he calls I have to stifle a giggle.

Another customer has a name that must be some eastern European derivation. It is very much the noise I would make if I was trying to say "Toggle" as some one hit me in the stomach.

We had an independent contractor name, Fuk Yu.

I was originally called Cliff :D

no

I have never had someone pronounce my last name right the first time.

Maybe I am saying it wrong.

A friend of mine was named Slutsky.

He had a sister!

I can't imagine going to high school as a girl with a name of Slutsky.

Recently worked with an Indian IT contractor whose first name was "Johnson". And A few years ago I worked with a Laotian named "Dung".

My grandparents were very good friends of the Slutzky family in Hunter, NY.

Knew a kid in high school named Harry Dick. Not sure why his parents hated him so much.

Excuse me, Mr. 'Winerslav' - It's pronounced, Weinerslave.

Also had a teacher once name Melvin Theodore Dick. Melted Dick as we called him behind his back.

So did I...in AZ.

FWIW, my initials are GAC. Always reminded me of a puking sound.
