Taking the piss out of real names

where they are never going to see it (we hope)......

I live in a city where more kids have hyphenated double-barreled last names than I've had beers. In my life. Six-syllable last names are not uncommon. Occasionally people are more sensible go with a portmanteau (Atkins + Smith = Atkinsmith, real example) ....and sometimes no thought happens at all. E. g. the poor kid I spotted in the program at last night's orchestra concert. Dick Mustapha-B0nem At least put them the other way around? His first name wasn't Dick. But it might as well have been. (and it was an o not a 0)

Kindest regards
