I often wonder, well not that often but on this occasion wonder if a woman would marry a guy with a crazy surname that she would be stuck with. Is the guys surname taken into account...............

My friends' husband changed HIS surname when they got married. He was called A. Dick. She had said she was keeping her maiden name, and he decided he'd rather not be Mr Dick anymore

Can beat the lot of ya. My maiden name was Cumming! You do not want to be a teenager with that surname, trust me. I won't tell you the jokes that were made, family forum and all that

Yup.......you win.

Friend of my mum's maiden name was Hore... for a girl it was a terrible surname

I knew a Hore at college; her first name was Raya and when she sent off for her driving licence, they misspelled it as Rava.

Much hilarity ensued.

Yup.......you win.

Knew I would

I knew a bloke who called his son Christopher Dean. Chris Dean sounded a bit girlie.

My Mum decided against middle names for us, mainly because her middle name was May....
for names that I've 'heard of'
Anne Dover and her brother Ben
Oh and the man who sent letters reminding people about the Rates bill was (genuinely) a Mr Brian Quick.

I used to work for a guy whose surname was Ball, he was always very cagey about his first name and asked to be called Charles. Years later I found out his name was Claude - vey painful.
I also knew a girl called Isla and she married a guy with the surname White.

Much food for thought, our bump is due to hatch out soon. Hopefully the names we go with won't cause too much grief for him!

I'll see if I can think of possible rhyme based abuse he might face!

[Jardiniere]

I knew some people called Race who called their daughter Rosa.
My husband reckoned he knew a Nora Bone.

Give consideration to initials as well. My sister thought in time not to call her son Andrew Robert Sawyer.......

There used to be a property developer around me called:
Paul Orridge

[bobleponge]

Used to go out with a Hoare, poor girl.
When I lived in Aldershot, I had a Kiwi neighbour, who had given his eldest daughter a traditional Maori name. Moist!! Not good.
