My brother (who is in the US Air Force) met a girl in the Turkish Air Force named Shithead.




It's pronounced "Shi-THEED." Or so she said.

I have to work very hard to surpress giggles when I encounter anyone with the family name Lipschitz.

I always thought it was just a joke, then I met several.

Endlicher. How would you pronounce that? I stumbled over it, and got chewed out. Hey, it's not my fault your name is end-licker.

Dr. Looney. Was really a psychiatrist...... Looney is not a bad name in and of itself. But when you go to med. school with it...I'd seriously think of changing it.

Of course, Cicero means dung.....so I really shouldn't put my 2 cents in here.
(Someone else that refused to change their name after entering politics)

One of my Mom's doctors is Richard Head.

I once had to serve a Dr. Harold Weiner with a subpoena... it would only have been more funny if he was a urologist.

There's a Dr. Dick Weiner around the corner from my office. He's a dentist. Rinse & spit! http://emoticons4u.com/love/new/love-smiley-082.gif

My plastic surgeon when I was burned was Dr. Burner.

One of my all-time favorite horrible names is Butkus. As in Dick Butkus the football player. Football players seem to have a high percentage of horrible names. My theory is they get toughened up by all the teasing they have to endure so they end up as big bruisers--i.e., football players.

We're having a good time with Carl Dick at present. Rost....have you seen my dick..........

..........

.....deal? IT WAS RIGHT HERE. stop touching my Dick.


deal.

I'm partial to Dick Trickle myself.... :D

I tried to persuade a beautiful young Russian woman to change her first name when she moved to the States. She was adamant she wouldn't - but I expect she did in the end.
Her name was Assol.

One of my favourites was a guy who presented children's television programmes in the late 70s...Christopher Lillycrap. With Lillycrap for a surname obviously he wanted to work with children :P

Another good one is Cockburn (apparently pronounced Cohburn)

I found this on the web YEARS ago , read the name , ha ha , then I looked at the address , ,,, Uh , I live in Paragould , so I grabbed a phone book , and well there he was , I give you ,,,,,,

Here in the states the "ck" is never silent. I have always been aware of the oddities of English pronunciation, what with the "gh" controversy and all, but "ck"? That "Coh-burn" shit has got to be made up, like Hyacinth "Booh-keh" rather than Bucket on Keeping Up Appearances.

That's exactly my thinking Wolf.
