Lucky escape - unfortunate name blunder, anyone realise too late?

[loler]

Ds2 is Euan, we nearly spelt it Ewan.

He was just writing his name doing the flicky bits so that the U looked more like a W. He's not the only Euan in the class, so followed it with surname initial. Finger spaces need working on.....

I was quite shocked to see Ewank on his picture.

Anyone made a complete blunder and not realised until it was too late?

Not quite...trying to avoid it!

We're avoiding B names for that reason...

And if I'd double barrelled, we'd be Long-Johnson... cringe

One of my teachers was Harry Kroch.

I also know a Thunda Anne Raines. Honest to God, that is really what her parents actually named her!

My DS has a Ewan Kerr in his class. True!

We don't have any DCs yet but DH and I were discussing this a while ago and he said he liked the name Evan. I wasn't convinced by it and I said "Evan OurSurname sounds a bit like a gay porn star" and then when I googled it sure enough the very first hit was for a gay porn star DH now thinks I have a working knowledge of homosexual adult actors I think, but it just proves its always worth googling to check there isn't already someone with that name.

Oh and I knew a girl at school called Amber-Sky. Probably totally outed myself there as I doubt there are many of those around, but it always struck me as a bit odd!

Ahh yes I didn't go to that school Pinkr but I was reliably informed the door said Mr Dick - Head grin

that was meant to be

Can't be many of them about surely? !

the ones I've heard so far:

Dick Rash

Helen Back

Chris Peacock

Ophelia Kok

Sue Doku

Sophie Hu

all real people, first two on tv programme about strange names

and of course Mary Christmas, Mary White-Christmas

and a friend named Sophie narrowly avoided her name sounding a bit like an STD!
she wanted to take her husband's surname, but someone pointed she would have become Sophie Lees.

she went for double barrelled instead

I had a lovely teacher at 6th Form College who knew kids well. He ran all the names past us to check if we could fuck with them see any issues. His last name was Pitt. He tried a few then thought he had struck gold with Sam. Sand Pitt then. In a Saaaf Laaandon accent. We saved him. We suggested Cecily for Cess Pitt and Snake but he wasn't having any of it.

If you read MN Mr Pitt, thanks for being such a great teacher.

Works with sibsets too, unfortunately. In the part I heard a lady call her children over the other day. Both lovely names but when called across a playground but a baby brother for Eva should not have been called Lucien. I expected to see a mother walking upright with varying degrees of stooped over children behind her

I have a friend who double barelled her surname with her husbands to become Green-Pepper

I know a Kitty-Lou...

I know a child called Hurricane and his surname is Snow. He sounds like an apocalyptic weather forecast.

Oh, I'm giggling at the possibility of Long-Johnson. That cat on YouTube is hilarious so it's a funny connection, not rude!

I have know people called:

Dick Mold
Hugh Janus
Megan Bacon
Liz Behan
Joe Kerr

My friend nearly called their dd1 Yarrick but their surname was Hunt, luckily they realised in time.

There was a William Dick in my class at school. True story.

DC1's initials are MESS. We knew this but liked all the names so much we kept them anyway. Hope it doesn't turn out predictive!
