I guess the worst would be Hitler or Staline

I heard a show about people with unlucky names
I'll translate them the best that I can: the names have meaning in french.

Mr. Salope (Mr Bitch (not in the dog sense but the insult meaning))
Mr. Mortdesoif (Mr Dead by thirst (each time the cops stopped his car he was nearly arrested because the thaught he was having a piss and/or was drunk)

Mr Cocu (Mr MyWifeCheatedOnMe)

I have encountered people with the following surnames: Dicks, Cocks (yes spelt like that), Butt and Burke.

My surname-to-be is... Death. Enough said. Haha. I can't stand it!!

I knew a couple whose surname was Dick. When they had their DS they were going to call him Issac until thankfully some brave friends had a quiet gentle word with them.

Keep your name!!!

it's not the worst name ever but if you have a choice...

Or become a leathered biker, then it becomes unbelievably cool.

My very top pick from names tabled so far is Excellent Sithole. Is he the sister of Virginia, that is the question Grin

Gotobed

Rimmer

Garlick

Beanland

Rhubarbgarden · 08/02/2015 13:47

I can't believe nobody's mentioned Tokyo Sexwale yet. He's a minister in the South African Government.
