I once knew a guy called Wayne Triest, which translates to “cry sad” in Dutch
Funny, isnt tristesse french for sadness? Probably both derived from Latin or something
Ye, same root, quite some overlap between the languages
Some of these make me think of Mr. Smoke-too-much
Kerr. Not unfortunate at all unless paired with his first name, which was Wang. Not even joking. It wasn’t a nickname, it was his actual name.
I knew a guy in highschool whose last name was Butt. Even more unfortunate that his first name was Harry.
Hitler. And he drove a lime green cybertruck.
Reed. Her first name starts with a B. So her email is BReed@****** hahahah. And she’s a grade school teacher
I worked with a vendor years ago with the last name Hart. Same email address convention, his first name was Sean. shart@*****
Hahahahahaha that might be worse. I always wonder why they don’t make exceptions to these shitty emails. At least put a period or something!
Ross. Doesn’t sound bad until you’re called Gina and the company email is “first letter of the name+surname” (GRoss@…)
I’ve known of people named: *Left Ball *Right Ball - the brother of Mr Left Ball above *Two people named Pussy - pronounced Pu-See
I’ve also heard of these, but can’t confirm if they are actually names or just interesting thoughts on names: *Peter Hollowpeter *Iva Hollowpeter
Worked with a lady with the last name Hoare. (Not sure on the spelling, it’s been some time.) She was a very nice older woman from Australia, was always the first to make the joke.
Knew a guy whose last name was Crone and he was dating someone with the last name Hague.
I once met a guy by the name of Paul Sack. We were teenagers, and he was fortunately at peace with it.
There’s a politician named Richard Swett and he goes by Dick.
Cox. Not so bad, unless your name is Richard. Dick Cox.
Yeah, so, why does Richard get abbreviated to Dick?
Butts. Had a plumbing company ironically. Butts Plumbing.
The classic ones are Dong. Grocery store I saw once had a the bulbs burn out partially. So when I passed it at night, it read Dong A 2 M (the arket lights where out). So nightly specials of dong, ass to mouth? Thought about writing a review but forgot where it was. “Great deals on food and groceries, but the nightly specials are something else.”
Fagot. Nice guy, but God damn is that name unfortunate.
Fa-go?
Fingerbottom
Seriously, like who comes up with this shit and names themself it?
Were their ancestors paid to finger bottoms or give prostate exams?
When last names became mandatory a lot of people chose funny ones as an act of rebellion. It’s also why a lot of last names come from places, occupations and first names.
Whether or not Fingerbottom is one of those, I wouldn’t know.
