An unfortunate name
 

Huma Weiner. Kinda rolls off the tongue.

Terry

Would sound sort of terrible, but she kept her own name, Abedin.

Too lazy to do a search here but I'm pretty sure that there's another thread dealing with other "unfortunate" names.

But WTH, I'll start.....

My nephew's 5th grade teacher a few years ago......Rhoda Dyck......IT'S TRUE, OK!!:p

How about Dick Trickle.

A childhood neighbor playmate named Louie Goscratch.
.
Another childhood 15 yr. old neighbor named Betty Fuchs...and she did.

...or Dick Mann?

I remember that thread.

Hah!

Mr Whitekeys, who owned Chilcoot Charlies in Anchorage, back in the late 80's, found a guy in the phone book from Fairbanks with the name, Dick Flopalotofit. (flop-a-lot-of-it). He built part of his show around the name.

Marriages can produce some interesting names too...

Dick Tapper, urologist.

Hey now, Dick Mann was a very famous half mile, mile racer plus some TT and road races. He won the Daytona 200 a couple times. He was good and a cool guy. He won the AMA Grand National Championship twice.

Harry Johnson.
Friend of my Dad's, car guy and part time airplane restorer.

Ahem, what exactly is funny about my uncle??

went to grad school with a Fuk Ho from Cambodia...

I grew up in Richmond and remember watching him race at San Jose in the early to mid 1970s. His daughter drove a nice two-tone tan/brown '65 Falcon with Gran Torino wheels. I think he was a Norton rider at the time.

My GF was explaining to her cousin about in England how they are combining surnames to make one new name. Her and I would be (Douglas + Bateson) Dateson.

Her cousin Ms Coombes married to Mr Bunt; said "I don't think that's such a good idea."

Two brothers I knew years ago...

Joe King and Wayne King!

My granddad's cousin was named Wave DeBord.

I know, right? It's unfortunate that the name he preferred took on derogatory tone after his racing career. Never heard of him before I saw 'On Any Sunday' about 20 years ago, but like all of the people in the film, he looked like a happy man enjoying what he loves to do. Haven't heard a bad thing about the fellow since I've known who he was. Even Bruce Brown's commentary about him in the movie referred to his great personality and strength of character.

Not a damn thing sir! He's an AMA flat track hero.

I used to see him in the pits at Ascot, didn't know him but my friends did.
I was in that movie covered in mud. I raced the next two years in that Elsinore GP and one year started front line in the 250 Expert class.

A co-workers ex-wife's maiden name was Smellie

Past neighbor was Buzz Hoff, a (now deceased) top heart surgeon with two beautiful daughters.

I am Jay D. Justice, J.D. If I ever had made a Supreme Court bench, i could have been Justice Jay. D, Justice, J. D.

I'm sure Cal Clutterbuck of the Isles hears more than his share of off hand comments about his surname

she makes me think of the movie, devil wears prada.
I also think some day she is going to write a book about working for the bi...uh Hillary.

New a girl in Oklahoma called Jo King. When she first told me her name, I thought it was a brush off.
There was a Japanese restaurant in London called OTOFUKU, maybe still there

We have some interesting names here. The Silva family had three boys: Hi-Ho, Sterling and Quick. I had a college classmate named Puanani Ting, Pua for short. Another college classmate was a cop and he had some good ones. One that comes to mind was a traffic stop of a Man Suk Yu.

A student that came through here a while back had the name Caribou Kuntz.
Also had a Viktor Lazlo too.

Next door neighbor in college was Justin Case

Dick Butzier

Mike Butt

Stephen Fuchs and his wife.

Not really bad names, but I'm sure as children there was some anxiety experienced.
