stupid surnames........

[Titania]

the more i think about it the more I think mine is stupid and I hate it!!!

Mine was Dicks - beat that! Went through school asking if my middle name was "likes sucking".

Now it is double-barrelled (husband's birth surname) but the second part gets called "-Dicks" instead of "__-Dukes". As if I would keep the "Dicks" part, I think not.

I actually once met a Conedick. He wasn't very pleased as -being, extremely mature at that time, plus very intoxicated - I did actually PMSL

Although that was 20 years ago.

and he did insist that it was pronounced Cone-e-dee. (Yeah...right).

also met a burke

My friend from school was a Burke. And I teach two Pratts.

Went to uni with an Onion who insisted on pronouncing it o'nion, very very odd.

I know a coxhead....his girlfriend refuses to marry him!

knwo of a hoare whos wife woudlnt have it

Mrs Wankling, bless her a little old dear that used to come into the hospital where I worked many years ago.

wonder if anyone is going to mention dh's surname (which I haven't taken!!).....

I was delighted to get rid of my maiden name.

I know a Pratt.

Oooh, and A Chicken

I have known 1 Codd, 1 Goodjohn, 1 Cokaine, 1 Burke and 1 (my favourite) McRitchie-Pratt

Oh and Titania i know your surname and i think it's really nice!

In dd's playgroup last year there was a Pert and a Bottom

My married name is a place name and always prompts bad attempts at the accent. Like I never heard that before... Worse still, I am from there too, though its not where I met DH. I use my maiden name professionally!

Oh god Frizbe, one of my best friends was married to a Coxhead - they're divorced now. Don't think she was sad to get shot of the name!

I've got an awful surname (not rude just plain daft), wish I'd thought of taking my mother's maiden name instead!

I knew a cockin

well i had the choice with dd...my boring plain surname or her father's really stupid one. lumbered the poor? girl with mine in the end. better dull than silly i reckoned.

i did know a guy named allcock once.

I'm late to the party, anyhow..

I've known some messed up surnames..

I knew a guy who's lastname was 'Hore'
A girl who's lastname was Lovecox
And two of my teachers names, Miss Hellwie (Hell Wee) and Drinkwater.

There was also a boy named Ronald Sole, but in school your first name was shorted to the first letter, so he was called out in the role as 'R Sole' (Asshole)
