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.

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.

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

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