Unfortunate names

Just had a catch up beer with a lad that I went to school with.
He's Cambodian with a last name of Hor, said in the way you'd expect it to be said.
He obviously caught loads of gyp for it, but there was one time where we were in tears because of it.
We all played footy together at school, and one day he got dropped off by his mum. We all piled into the school van with him in the back seat. We're heading out the front gates when he pulled the wanking gesture out the back window at the school (and car) behind him, only to discover that it was his mother in the car behind us, who was waving back at him.

What's an unfortunate name you've come across?

We had a Christopher Paul Bacon in our class at school. Not a particularly unfortunate name in the great scheme of things, but he will forever be Chris P. Bacon.

I used to work in the NHS so had access to some fantastic names.

Some of my favourites were Chip Curry, Randy Hooker and Sarah Status Quo (Changed her name by deed poll I assume).

There was also a Mr Chester who lived in Chester Road, Chester, Cheshire which amused me.

I also had an instance were a child who's surname was White had been assigned to a Chinese couple with the surname of Wong. In the most brilliant moment of my life I said "That cant be right, Two Wong's don't make a White" and nobody was in the room to hear it. I was gutted.
