There are some people out there who have been dealt a bad hand since the day they were born. Because of their unfortunate names, their lives have been difficult from the get-go. From jokes in kindergarten to bullying at school, it just goes to show how bad it can get if you’ve got the ‘wrong’ name.
Unfortunately, problems don’t stop after high school. There are plenty of everyday technological problems and nuisances that people with bad names have to face in life, and here are some of the best. Oh, and after you’re done reading this post, be sure to check out Bored Panda’s articles about people with unfortunate name tags and the very worst names that will make you wonder what people’s parents were thinking.

The trouble with having a funny last name can be as small as being unable to register on websites and can be as big as your emails all being sent to someone’s spam folder. The struggle is real!
Some can’t even get health insurance due to their surnames

Morgan Jerkins reveals that her childhood was full of kids making fun of her because of her funny name. And this made her cringe, feel ashamed and made her want to run away. However, as she grew up, she eventually learned to accept and love her name and stopped feeling shame whenever she heard it. The Huffington Post writes that “we attack others in order to feel good” or to make ourselves look better in comparison. However, there’s no excuse for bullying, even if it’s ‘just’ poking fun at somebody’s supposedly hilarious name.

Living with a name that others aren’t used to can cause a great deal of funny problems. I can’t tell you the number of times people have mispronounced my name (the ‘J’ is supposed to sound like a ‘Y’). And don’t even get me started on how difficult it is for foreigners to pronounce my surname. By the time Americans and the British will have accomplished this feat, we’ll have colonized Mars. However, I’m very happy with my last name, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. Not everyone is as lucky to have an awesome surname like mine, though.

None of those words are offensive. Sometimes I feel like I'm living among neo-puritans in some parallel universe.
You are living among them. They're (mostly) corporations so terrified of offending someone, they seek to avoid any negative PR that they don't care about these sort of consequences. These actions simply show they really don't care their customers/users, despite their proclamations (by engaging in this censoring) that they do. This issue (computer-wise) could easily be solved by suspending these "rules" for name fields. Would some "take advantage" of that? Yes... but that's life.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why censorship, even Self-censorship to stop "profanity" is a very bad idea. Especially simple automatic solution do more harm tha good!
Guy I used to work with had the name Richard Dickey. And yes. He went by the nickname D**k.
No, but seriously, D**k shouldn't be banned, I mean, what about Charles Dickens? The world is full of legitimate D***s....

When I lived in Alaska, some fellow a couple of grades above me almost ruined my life. My last name is "Kelly", and he used to rhyme insults with others. Well, one day on the bus he picked me out and started calling me "Smelly Kelly", and it caught on. But he didn't stop there. Adding my full name, which is John L Kelly, they came up with "John(potty)Latrine Smelly". And since I was the third in my family with that name, I was also the "Turd". It was horrible living with that, but the "Smelly Kelly" was the worst thing, because the bigger kids made light of it a lot...........until I was playing baseball one day, and an older kid started up, and I swung my bat at him and broke his arm. After that, no one ever called me that again. It was a learning experience. People can be very cruel, and sometimes you have to stand up and fight back, no matter the outcome. When I left Alaska, I left all the name calling behind.
Oh, one other thing. I was working in my basement shop this evening, and Fox News was reporting on hurricane Dorian. They called in their Big Gun, Joe Bastardi. I immediately started laughing at that, and had to come back upstairs and post about it. How would you all like to be growing up and have a last name like that? I wonder how many fights he got into while growing up?

at least once i had to make a change because a Native American last name is "not real"-wtf smh
My maiden name was Gehrm—-pronounced like “gurm”, but almost always mispronounced like germ (Slovene grandparents, it was originally spelled Grm). When I married an Englishman named Baylis, I truly thought my days having to explain my last name were over. Nope, I still have to explain that there’s only one “s” at the end, and still have people mispronounce it Bailey, Ballas, and even Bagless (that one was my first and last name—-how do you get “Karen Bagless” out of Kathy Baylis?). Really people, take care with a person’s name. It. Is. Their. Name. FFS.
These names misspellings, as you say, are actually more important than many would think. How many times did I need to call customer service for a good variety of life serious services that didn't work for me because my name that was registered in the database was different from my passport..... Also, there were news, not so long ago, police arrested the wrong person due to a typo...... Horror

Two popular surnames in Britain art Pratt and Burke. Both are words in their own right meaning "idiot".
I really hate calling customers when they have a name like that. Yes, I'm 41 not 14 but I still have to suppress a giggle when I have a customer called Mr. Ficker (German for f****r) on the phone. Poor dude.
I had a customer coming to pick up a repair. I asked his name he said " Pick up". I was like, yes I know, what's the name... " After a Who's on First episode I find his name was William Pickup.

The lack of respect for people's names is asounding. Yes children can be mean, but adults? Grow up. It's a person's identity. So what if it rhymes with 'penis' or means 's**t' in another language- move on.
Even Muhammad said " a bad name should be changed". I have to agree with that. Why make life harder than it has to be. People shouldn't be jerks but they are. C'mon someone named Schmuck? Nah.

My maiden name is a slang word for the male appendage, and the street number I used to live at was 69. I had to call roadside assistance once to help start my car, and they literally weren't going to turn up because they thought it was a prank call. Thankfully one of the staff knew me through his wife, and told them I was legit. That was one of the many issues my name (and address at times) caused.
I know a guy who owns a transportation company, his family name is "Bitte" - no problem in Germany where it means "Please"...but he is French and it is pronounced "Bite" which means d**k....
Once upon a time I had a Facebook account. For whatever reason I forgot my logon password. I asked for assistance, I couldn't get any help because I have the name of a "Business" not a "Person". The last name is "Sewer".
So my last name before marriage was Hiscock. My middle school best friend’s last name was Kiss. We got in trouble for standing beside each other and taking a pic of our basketball jerseys with our last names on them bc ya know “Kiss Hiscock”
This thread is probably long dead but, as someone wit the maiden name of "Hoes", this is all great! With the help of some really great parenting and strong sense of tradition and heritage, I grew up loving my last name (after I learned how to deal with it). I played along with all of the jokes in school from water hose, to panty hose to just plain, HOES! And came up with good comebacks for all of them. It gave me thicker skin, unique identity, comical breaks, and stronger connection my fellow Hoes! Problems with this name: I had to send a copy of my birth certificate to FB to get my name accepted. My brother has it worse though since he still has the name and now children with the name. He has had women ask him or his wife why they are so cruel to their daughters and allowing them to still have that name and why haven't they changed it for them?
My married name is Maycock- people often ask me how to spell it- I say the month and the bird- this annoys my husband, but oh well
I went to school with a girl who had the last name Boner. Pronounced just like you think. Yes, she was one of the prettiest girls in the school. I bet she was excited to change her name when she got married.
This has happened on Facebook to my parents, as our last name is "Disco".
Growing up, I lived next door to D**k Topping and across the street from General Fagg...I kid you not.
I've met a few people I've met in my life who had unfortunate names (so.e to the point I wondered if their parents secretly hated them). I swear all of these are real: - Charley Brown - Richard Head. - A guy with the last name of Sample in Navy boot camp (so he was called Seaman Sample). - Michael Hunt (who I sited on NEVER being called Mike, whether you used his last name or not). And the absolute worst ever? Harry Butte. I'm not kidding or making this up... As soon as he turned 18 he legally changed his last name.
Went school with several kids with the last name Horney. Once saw a furniture store called Hooker Furniture. But by far the worst, knew a girl with the last name Rape...she had it changed.
My maiden name was Battershell. I always wanted to be a pitcher in baseball just so I could be batter's hell.
In Czechia, we have real name "Tomáš F*k", and it sounds like "it doesn't matter". Also "Jan Nevim" sounds like "I don't know".
Stop banning free speech and words how about that. Why do I have to send a id photo to Facebook to open an account.
There is a YouTube host who was formerly named Rob Dykes. YouTube started blocking his channel because his name was "offensive" and they felt he was doing it to be upsetting. He literally had to legally change his surname in order to rescue his career/channel. I have had a coworker with the surname Dykes, and I have met people with that surname as well. It's more common than you think and is older than the usage as a slur. Dyke because a slur in the 1920s-1930s (I don't know why that word was chosen, but if anyone does I'd like to know).
I once worked with a man with the last name of Smallwood. Junior high school must have been rather difficult for him.
I'm sure he's never heard that joke before. I'm sure it's brand new.

In Denmark F**k is a rare but real last name. It can also be spelled Fock. Better but not great:)
I found out just the other day, that creating an account with a company, in order to make them deliver my stuff if I am not home to accept it, could not be done. The homepage was in english, but my last name and the name of the road I live on contains some special danish letters, and were refused. I hope that I can be home, when they bring my packet.
Once tried to name one of my Pokémon (a koffing) “fartbag” on Pokémon Go. I was denied my childishness, and tried “Tootbag” instead, but was still denied. Very confused, I tried to figure it out. “Fart” and “toot” were fine in their own, and so was “bag,” it was when they were paired that the name was blocked. Through the process of elimination, I found that the banned word within it was “tbag”. Which… fair.
My childhood best friend's last name was Füchs (originates from Germany) changed to Fox as soon as she could

A client for a firm I once worked for was called Rodney Ba$tard. This was in the days prior to the internet. I'm guessing he has problems logging in to quite a few websites. Another client was Mr D'eath and one woman's parents were cruel enough to call her Emma when her surname was Royds.
Used to work with a Richard Holder. Also saw on TV a poor bloke whose surname was "Null", making many computer entry screens reject it as a blank (although that can be down to poor programming).
This is called "the Scunthorpe Problem" in informatics/programming, after the UK community of that name. Tom Scott did a YT video on it.
My last name is Morehead. spelled exactly how it sounds. yeah it's fun
I feel there shall be a right to rename yourself if your name has profanity. You are not enforced but name change shall be easier for those people.
It's just crazy how many people have "Offensive last names. I have the WORST last name as well. One time my friend told me my name sound's like S@#$. *Though life*
I seriously hate my last name as being "Schlitt" you would probably know what people translate that to. It sucks being one of those people where God hates you so much that your NAME is a consequence.
Not alone, With my last name being faulk, (and my accent) people ge tit mixed up to much.
Your not alone, last name is Faulk, and my accent gets people mixed up too much
European airport staff scowl, fake puke, ect., when they see I have the last name Buonaparte.
My last name is Trojan... I have heard everything imaginable. Facebook wouldn't even let me use my actual last name without sending them my drivers license. Ridiculous.
I once had a sex ed teacher named Mr. Wackett. Years later I ran into him at a local doctor's office...he upgraded to Dr. Wackett.
My last name isn't offensive but it's gotten me made fun of a kid. Growing up in the South, Florida, where a certain spice company is the king... I was always getting the jingle sung to me.... "McCormick, The House Of Flavor" annoying. For all that annoyance I should have some of that money they rake in every year... just saying!
With all the disgusting and truly offensive things on Facebook, they censor names?
When PC enters the scene, even the PC better look over it's shoulder....
Oh man, I feel these so much! My maiden name is a swear word! Years of problems, giggling from people, one embarrassed teacher, and me finally learning it was a funny name to have.
add special characters.... a period at the end or middle of the name. or a hyphen, see if that'll work. Ex: But-t, But.t butt., etc....
That is so weird by the way I'm not judging ya'll because that would be rude!!!
Dear Jonas: Your name is also "offensive" in Norway. It means the same as W***y and D**k.
My friend's surname is Cobbledick, he has some stuff from that, replace the C with a G and that was his nickname at school.
A number of my family members have the last name Crack. When my cousin ran for political office, his opponent's slogan was "Just say no to Crack". I also know people named D**k and Butt
Honestly if I had a silly last name Is change it. Why made your kids lives hell?
LOL, the phrase 'please change it' got me good. I'm ROFL in office!

I know how frustrated they get when they're told their family name is "offensive". Facebook is well known for not only censoring so-called "offensive" names, but for not allowing people to use their real names because FB assumes the name is a joke or parody.
That shows how stupid algorithms and their creators are in their politically correct language.
