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.

NASCAR racing legend, Dick Trickle.

Had a classmate who had the surname Fucke. He took his wife’s name when he got married, as he was sick of the dumb jokes about his name.

Knew a kid in elementary school who had the last name Gaylord, teased mercilessly. He would tell the teacher on the first day of class to just call him by his first name but they never did

I guy I went to school with last name of Dick. Always said he would name his son Harry and daughter Anita. I really hope he didn't

There is a plumbing company in northern Virginia that is family owned. It was founded by Richard and is called Wacker Plumbing. Yes indeed his name is Dick Wacker.

Had a guy I worked with named Butts, I was like, oh, its probably got some other pronunciation, so I said "Mr. Boots?"

He got VERY angry and shouted "ITS PRONOUNCED BUTTS" loud enough that other people in the office turned to look at us.

Null. There are articles online about people with this surname and the problems they face in everyday life.

For those who don't know, null means "nothing" or "missing data" in computer systems and databases. Properly coded systems handle it correctly but there are so many badly coded and/or legacy systems that simply crash or behave incorrectly when that surname is entered.

I worked with someone back in the '90s who claimed he once worked for a Richard Butt, who would go by the nickname Dick. As mentioned, this was the '90s so it was well before the more famous dickbutt.

My surname is Mucous

I once ran a credit card for a Richard P. Oreface

I know a man with the last name "Raper"

Adcock.

His first name was Daniel, and his email (typical company first initial last name @ company) was indeed unfortunate.

Had a teacher called Mr. Dick.

"Van De Neuker" which translates as "from the fucker". In ye olden days "De Neuker" was the man who went around with his male pig to impregnate the female pigs of other people.

The US ambassador to the UK during Trump's first term was Woody Johnson. In this case, though, he chose to go by it, so I'm assuming that he doesn't consider it unfortunate.

Bonar. Good middle school times.

Not just one but two. Weiner and Munch. Their offices were right next to each other and it didn't matter who was on either side. It was still comedy gold.

I know a guy with the surname of "Bator".

He's of course in my phone as "Master Bator". He's a good sport about all the jokes, luckily :)

Laurens Nothdurft (AfD) (Notdurft is german for the urge to pee)

Cockfield

Carr, Wayne... in England. Parents must have been right bunch of assholes.
IIRC he kept using his middle name, it's only through another colleague we found out

to segue, Asian company names can be great when they romanise them, "Pondscum Realty" in Cambodia. I have no idea what it was supposed to be in the original Khmer (Green Lakes or something like that perhaps ? ) but it always made me smile when i went past, this was a decade ago and I assume they used some shitty literal google translation.

Hiscock...pronounces hizzuck

Titsworth

Fingerbottom

Cox. Not so bad, unless your name is Richard. Dick Cox.

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."

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.

Fagot. Nice guy, but God damn is that name unfortunate.

Butt.

He was a customer and I was instructed to greet customers by last, not first, name.

I barely held in the laughter when **** Butt popped up on the screen.

Other than the standard Wang and Dong (and one with the alternative spelling Dung) I knew a Dickson who worked with a Cox. And one salesman with a normal last name "Ashman" and a first name starting with R whose company gave him the email address "rashman" rather than "ashmanr".

Zahomo

I believe their first name was Clayton

I once met a guy by the name of Paul Sack. We were teenagers, and he was fortunately at peace with it.

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.

Some of these make me think of Mr. Smoke-too-much

1. Trust Unworried. Full name.
2. My dear friend Thomas Dyck married his highschool sweetheart, Annie(Anita) Savage. They were going to hyphenate the surnames for the lulz. Yes, Anita Savage-dyck.
3. Someone with a first-name sounding like 'offence' is messaging me on LinkedIn. It's for a weird "we'll maybe pay you for open-source work if we like it" bait/switch.

Wankhade

I remember someone was on Forensic Files pretty often, they either had the last name "Dickgardender" or their name was "Dick Gardener".

Reed. Her first name starts with a B. So her email is BReed@****** hahahah. And she's a grade school teacher

Hitler. And he drove a lime green cybertruck.

Hogg.

Ross. Doesn't sound bad until you're called Gina and the company email is "first letter of the name+surname" (GRoss@...)

I worked with someone at an international company whose surname meant “shit” (verb) in my native language.

I once knew a guy called Wayne Triest, which translates to "cry sad" in Dutch

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
