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?

what "interesting" names have you run across?

Emerson Bigguns

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.

Damn straight I would...couldn't imagine going through life being called Vash :D

I keed, I keed...

I use to worked with a guy and his last name is Heiman.

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 made it through life as a Fred. I used to work with a guy named Uda Mahan

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.

Was his first name "Buster"?

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

I once knew a Hung Solo.

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.

I went to high school with Jim Shorts and Kandy Kane.

Max Minn. Actually JB might know him.

yep, good friend of mine with that same last name.

My old boss was name Richard Hare. Of course, we always called him 'Dick', primarily because he was one..

one of the women who worked in the cafeteria at my old job gave birth to a girl and named her Sedan DeVille. no idea what her last name was.

I knew a Mike Hunt in high school.

My wife hates her forename - Edith Louise. Named after her Mom's best friends (who a couple years later were no longer friends) ;)

Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, etc... pretty funny.

I knew of guy who's last name was Anusich (Polish I think)

I worked over in the sandbox with a woman named:

Brenda Goodnight... she was a friggin blast to be around...

My gf is a visiting nurse, one day I was at her place she downloaded her assignments for the week, and started laughing hysterically.

I asked what was so funny? She said the name of one of her patients,

Dick Ng

She explained to me that Ng in in Mandarin mean. "I don't have"

I worked with (a very nice) lady whose name is "Sandy B utts" no kidding. We got so used to it that it wasnt funny at all, but you'd remember when someone giggled when you said her name and they hadn't heard it.

Had a friend in middle school who's first name was Boner.

Well, I grew up back east. NJ and NY. Lots of Lipschitzes out there...

Oh yeah, my music teacher in High School was Mr. Tusch. :eek:

My waterpolo coach in high school was Dick Delong.

In the last organization in which I worked, my boss' boss was named Dudu; there was also a Sharon and an Ellie on the team - both of them were guys.

Went to JH with a guy whose last name was "Coffin".

I like going to Canada for work, at least the people who work at fast food places know how to spell and pronounce "Hugh", in Los Angeles I get hu, hue ugh, and whatever they come up with. I just usually say "Sam".

In college once, I was at a bar and told some drunk chick my name was "Hugh" and she said "I've never heard that name before", I said sure you have,,have you ever heard of Hugh Heffner? And she said "Wow, are you related?

don't have to go that far. Just up in San Francisco or towns up north they usually have no problem communicating.

Long ago, I did some work for a guy name Mr. Buttram. I always wanted to ask his if its pronounce Butt-ram? I was too chicken to do it because he was paying the bills.

Went to high school with a guy who's last name was Herpe. He changed it Smith later on. I don't blame him.

Worked with a Richard Johnson and a Mike Hunt.
