Do you have an unfortunate name? Or know someone else that does?

[DrMadelineMaxwell]

It's been drawn to my attention by DH this week, that because of my habit of trailing the end of the word away to a squiggle when I'm signing my name, I've been signing everything as TWat_ for quite a while. He found this hilarious.

And I can't even blame him for his unfortunate surname beginning as I was another name beginning with Wat...before I married.

[quote kness]**@toffeekiwi* and @TheMarzipanDildo* "Sods" is a derogatory word and comes across as a throwaway comment that you didn't really take seriously, like you're treating it like a joke. If you really cared, you would've chosen a different word.

My name is not "unfortunate". Stop trying to claim it is, as you are making things worse. My name does not belong in this thread. The context of this thread is names that accidentally sound rude.[/quote]
FGS stop being so professional offended.
Sod is British slang often used thus:
You mean old sod!
poor sod
unlucky sod
You silly sod

Your name is not unfortunate, what is unfortunate is that it is used for a meme. You are determined to find offence where none was intended.

I don't buy the choosing to be offended thing. You chose to use derogatory language, you need to take responsibility for it.

I’ve met lots of interesting names over the years
Mrs pizzey. Rosy Parker. I know a Mrs Dix currently. the bent family
Young man called Ashit. And a guy called Richard head Teresa green
Plenty of ‘famous’ names too
I know a Michael Jackson. Paul mcartney (Not that one)

I can't remember the proper spelling, but I met someone who's name was pronounced 'Suckdeep'

We have a regular customer with the surname Vulgar.

FGS, give it a rest. Are you actually trying to make us see where the ridiculous authors of the memes are coming from?

Several years ago I was working as a poll clerk on Election Day. A woman came in, gave me her address and I then had to check her name and found myself reading out Eva Leaver. I did manage to keep a straight face but she smiled and said “Laugh if you want;- I tell my husband it shows how much I love him that I was prepared to saddle myself with such a bloody stupid name when I married him!”

I know a Mike Hunt. And yes he abbreviates to Mike. He makes a joke of it though and does public speaking it's a good ice breaker

I was A Pratt till I married. Very happy DH has a very normal surname. I’m feminist but it was a relief to take his name!

Dr Mort

My dad worked alongside two women called Opheila Bott and Rose Chicken

I knew someone who, when she qualified as a doctor, was Dr F Huq. I think she changed one of her names, not sure which.

Having lived in the far north west of Scotland, I knew several Donald Macdpnalds, and taught an Aulay MacAulay.

Our surname starts with Tit ...... You can imagine the rest

Oh I forgot one
I knew a woman whose first name was ‘baby’
Her parents couldn’t agree on a name

I have a neighbour called Adena, which should be lovely, except for some reason I can’t accidentally stop calling her Edema 😬😳
