So we've had a thread recently about the best surnames, and I was wondering what the worse ones you've come across are.

One of my lectures at uni had the wonderful name Gloria Topliss.

A classmates surname was Trebilcock
Supposedly pronounced Tre-bilcock but we all called her Trebil-cock.
She eventually changed her name.

I knew a Deadman, which I actually think is quite cool.

Someone I know has married a Cumberpatch and changed her name. Somehow that’s worse than Cumberbatch. Makes me think of Cucumber Patch.

My surname is one of those mentioned in this thread Grin. I love it though!

I've known people with the surname Dick, Crapper and Cant which are worse in my opinion. I'd struggle to take any of those as my married name.

I knew of a German at one of my previous employers with the surname Ficker.

The thing is, Ficker is also German for fucker. So he was Mr. Fucker.

My doctor is called dr d’eath, he pronounces it Dee-ath!

My surname is quite nice sounding but it’s long and rhymes with lots of first names that I happen to really like.
It’s really unusual so I can’t say it, but it ends with the ‘Elle’ sound.
