Truly unfortunate names...

I wonder if he ever met the Italian basketballer Gregor Fu cka. (I had to add a space because of the modding filter.)

He also features in this list of the 'dirtiest names in sport'.

But not in this one...

Dick Trickle?! Didn't his parents think? After all, you can't help your surname, but at least you could avoid giving your kid the worst possible first name to go with it...

When I was in Vietnam one guide told us, "I am Hung." I was about to retort that it was more information than I needed, when I realised he was just telling us his name.

When I was in res at varsity we first years had to take turns manning reception and announcing visitors and phone calls on the intercom. We all used to live in fear that the boyfriend of a girl whose name translated into Monica Chickenc*nt would turn up while we were on duty.

According to http://www.yournotme.com/ there are at least 11 Wayne Kerrs in the country

Unfortunately there are no people called Juan who have that surname...

Nice site for people who are looking for ever more diversions from work... Have been exploring the possibilities offered by the name Hugh - seems there are 13 guys called Hugh Hogg and 15 named Hugh Dick in the UK.

Seems there are 348 guys named Richard Long and 121 named Richard Short in the UK. Each search result is accompanied by a snippet of information. In the latter case it was, "Your name is common enough to ensure free hire of the social club hall at your reunion party. Mmmmm Cocktail Sausages for all."

Makes one wonder if it really is automatically generated...

This is a thread for unfortunate names.

Some names which don't qualify:

Richard Long
Miles Long

unfortunate names:

there was a sound engineer on Machine Head by the name of Claude Nobs ...

I know a kid called Talon True-Eagle, no joke. Surprisingly he hasn't picked up too much flak as far as I know, except for one thing - people tend to forget what precedes the Eagle, and replace "True" with "Spread".

Years ago I played cricket against a bloke called Trevor Watt who always made sure his name appeared in the scorebook as Watt, T rather than the other way around.

Common enough Indian surname: Dikshit.

Guy I met had a pretty ordinary name which probably gave him little trouble - until it turned out to be the same as that of a serial killing paedophile whose activities shook the whole country. As the guy I met was an obstetrician, it couldn't have been great for his career...

Which reminds me of the Brass Eye episode where a "Peter Philes" was mistakenly lynched by a baying mob...

Damn Chris Morris is a legend.

Nathan Barley could easily have done 4 series if he wasn't one of those 'no, i only do one series... don't want it to go stale' types. It wouldn't have Chris. At least until midway through series 3.

No wonder this guy runs so fast...

Saw these two links one above the other on the MWeb sports news site:

Hackett has asthma
Howlett guilty of misconduct

My favourite banker has resigned, unfortunately :

Two unfortunate little boys in my class at school.....

Jamie Bond
Jack Daniels

I've just read a paper on the constructioｎ of virus replicons wriiten by a chap called Thumfart . . .

I knew an old bloke called Murray Grey. He reckoned his name was okay when he was a young fella but he got really cheesed off when the beef cattle breed became popular & his mates started ribbing him.

Heard a good one on the radio the other day. A guy rang in and said his mate Joe Baroo married his girlfriend Sue and she didn't keep her maiden name. Silly Bint.

Spare ribbing?

Sounds like a load of bull to me.

Perhaps you herd wrong.

I won't be cowed by　the likes of you!

It's time to mooove on......
