Is that JKR
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.
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
You’d better cut down a little then
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.
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.”
In the Navy, there was this woman with the last name Guzzler and she was a nuclear electronics technician, which meant that before hitting the rank of E-4 that she was a Seaman. She was Seaman Guzzler. The military is pretty misogynistic, and so even her superiors took joy in taking jabs at her as is the name Guzzler wasn’t bad enough by itself for a woman in the military.
I still feel bad for her to this day.
Reed. Her first name starts with a B. So her email is BReed@****** hahahah. And she’s a grade school teacher
When I worked in a university one of the students in the Education department, specializing in High School teaching, was Ms. Assman.
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!
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.
NASCAR racing legend, Dick Trickle.
He was a badass, though. Legend has it that he had a hole drilled in the face shield of his helmet so he could still light up a smoke while driving.
That story makes no sense. He always used half face helmets. Even when he had a full face, he smoked through the window of the helmet. Sounds like a story a tobacco sponsor would promote.
Trickle killed himself after suffering years of chest pain definitively not due to his smoking.
Barry Sheene had a hole in his Motorcycle helmet for smoking.
He died of eosophageal cancer. Cool.
That’s why I referred to the story as a “legend” (and it is a story that had been passed around for decades), not a fact that I can provide documentary proof of for a humorous internet comment.
They said UNfortuante
Hitler. And he drove a lime green cybertruck.
Fagot. Nice guy, but God damn is that name unfortunate.
Fa-go?
Ross. Doesn’t sound bad until you’re called Gina and the company email is “first letter of the name+surname” (GRoss@…)
