List of Names You Would Change . . . if they were yours
 
I seem to come across these names quite a lot. Maybe because they're all lawyers. D: Like people with the surnames:

Hitler
Butt
and, just today I found this one: Acock. Swear to fucking god. Acock. I think I'd be running to my attorney for a name change the minute I turned 18.

Acock, very common in the UK. and Hiscock. also TFF

Don't think I'd change them though. I changed mine because it was my dad's name and beest and I wanted to have the same name. We tried to find a new one we both liked (he wasn't desperate to keep his either) but it got boring, so I took his name when we married because it is/was the cheapest option in the UK :lol:

There's a Turkish first name: Ufuk (pronounced i-fik) and a last name Dogdu. The g in Dogdu has a smile over it making it a soft G so it's actually pronounced "Do'h-di"

There was a Chinese post-doc at uni who decided to use "Randy" as his Western name. Unfortunately his last name was Dong. Those of us without the maturity to get over it sniggered at someone choosing to name themselves Randy Dong.

I know a family with the last name "Assmann".
I know an "Oswald Capone".
