Unfortunate last names

Dh has some Dicks in his family tree

I went to high school with Tim Birr.

Therer is a guy who works at my credit union named Johnny Johnson.

There is a young man at the school I work at with the name of Maverick. I always want to ask if his parents watched "Top Gun" too many times.

Do people not think??? I dumped my first choice for a boy's name when I realized that the shortened form of it rhymes with our last name. I also dumped a boy's name my dh liked because the initials would be BM.

My parents' best friends have a funny last name. They have fun with it. At least their first names don't make it worse.

When my kids were young their music teacher was Miss Beaver. She got married and decided to hyphenate her name. Her new husbands last name... Hunter!! Seriously?!?!?

I went to school with a girl who married a guy with the last name of Snodgrass.

This is a common last name in our old town.

How about Tommy Thompson-former Governor of Wisconsin and now whatever post (Health and Human Services??) for the current president.

There is a family in our town with the last name Dickhouse.

My son had a 7th grade teacher with the name Ms. Cox. Could you imagine the torture this woman went through on a daily basis with all those boys. Oy.

There is a man on a professional football team whose name is Himerdinger. Makes me giggle just saying it.

My neighbors surname is Buck. Not so bad. He is an avid hunter too.

I knew a guy at work named Michael Bolton..







"I was told that I could play my music at a reasonable volume."

OMG, you guys are listing so many bad names, I can't comment on them all! I guess I take it for granted that my name is very normal. Dick Trickle, worst male name. Connie Lingus, worst female name.

Do you guys remember a thread maybe last year about the parents who named their kid Adolph Hitler? That might beat Dick Trickle for the worst name.

Well, that was some neo-nazi moron wannabe. I loathe to suggest the government to step in to take children away from parents, but that case might be an exception.

Speaking of the Hitlers, I recalled reading about this a few years ago..

"American kin of Hitler made pact not to have children" in The Straits Times, Singapore, 9 February 2002

LOS ANGELES - The American relatives of Adolf Hitler entered into a pact to end the family bloodline by not having children, according to new research.

Investigation of the Hitler clan by a British writer has revealed that the nephew of the infamous dictator grew up in England and later moved to the United States.

The nephew, William Patrick Hitler, is long dead but his three sons live with their mother in Long Island, New York, according to a report in yesterday's The Advertiser newspaper.

The publicity-shy sons, who have dropped the Hitler surname, were well aware of the infamy of their bloodline.

'They talked among themselves, talked about the burden they've had in the background of their lives, and decided that none of them would marry, none of them would have children,' said journalist David Gardner.

He is promoting a new TV documentary, The Last of the Hitlers, which is based on his book of the same name.

There *was* nothing wrong with it... until I was about twelve years old and that no-talent *** clown became famous and started winning Grammys.

OMG...I used to know Dr Hurt. His I think ex-wife was my GS troop asst leader. Went to middle school with his daughter Jennifer.

Wow! It's a small world after all!

My son had a 7th grade teacher with the name Ms. Cox. Could you imagine the torture this woman went through on a daily basis with all those boys. Oy.

When I was in middle school, that was the vice principal's name.

I almost forgot......

My dd had a teacher named Mrs. Biever. My hairdresser would die laughing every time my dd would talk about this teacher. She still laughs about it and it's 5 years later.

I also now work with a Mrs. Beaver at my school. I have never asked her if the kids give her a hard time. I can just imagine.

Someone I used to work with had been engaged (never married) to a guy named Dick Jr, his father obviously was Dick Sr. She said his mother was totally clueless, when Jr was still living at home if someone would call and ask for Dick, and she would ask if "do you want Big Di*k or Little Di*k?"

I'm thinking Dick Trickle trumps everyone

The best way though, is writting it like it is in the phone book: Trickle Dick.

My daughter's first grade teacher was named Miss Tiddy. We also had a business owner in town named Mr. Snoddy. Sweetest man you'd ever meet and he was really hurt when his sons changed their last name when they became adults.

That's why I could never imagine changing my name - I'd hate to hurt my father's feelings. Lucky for me, I'm a girl and it was easy to take my husbands name. I won't tell you what it was, though!

I think some parents are unknowingly setting kids up for failure. Can you imagine a lawyer or dr. named Twinkle Starr. That sounds like a stripper name.

a kid on my son's baseball team has last name "Anis" ... ouch.

Big please.

I had a friend who worked in a counselors office. They had a client named Ima Pigg. Gee, I wonder why she needed counseling.

 

[castmemberb4]

An office I used to work in had a patient who's last name was Godowns

When I was very little I was friends with a little boy named Frosty Snow. Even in kindergarten I thought his parents must have hated him.

At my hospital we had a MD whose name was Dr. Rape! People always tried to be nice and mispronounce the name... "Oh, um... Dr. Rah-Peh?" He would always correct them and tell them it is pronounced just like one would think. He was the worlds nicest guy.

As a camp counselor I suppose the age groups got divided up alphabetically. As juvenile as it was, I had the giggles the whole first week because In my group (right next to each other on the list) I had kids with the last names: Butts, Cox, Dick. My 19 yr old self couldn't do it without the giggles at first.

Working in a hospital I see many unfortunate last names. Two that stand out were : Fuchker (yyyeeeaaahhhh), and a lady with the last name Cohones (which has an unfortunate translation in Spanish, which of course many in So. Fla are fluent in.)

I worked with a group of OB doctors years ago that included a man that went by Dick A****. When his son joined the practice, he became Little Dick A****. Of course, the son objected to being Little Dick, so people started calling them Old Dick and Young Dick. Somehow, they were okay with that.

I think the worst name I ever heard was a girl I knew named Maybelle Butts. She was a really nice girl, but this name...she was about 4'9" tall and i bet her hips measured at least 48". Unfortunately, she got pregnant at 15 and "had to get married." I often wondered if she did that to ditch the name or if the name just lowered her self esteem to the point at which she just no longer cared

I once dated a boy with the last name of Ooink. Yes, it is pronounced the way it looks. He told me he was teased in school...I just couldn't get over the last name. Nice family though!

Growing up my maiden name was "stoner" - not as bad as some mentioned on here, but there were quite a few rhymes that got made up throughout the years at school.....
