I'll share names. One of my customers has a foreign last name that is spelled with far too many letters but pronounced "file." His first name is Dick. hehehe.

My SO's last name is Lekey. pronounced leaky. He gets asked "is it le-KAY? or LEAKY?" Yes, like the damn dripping water sound. Leaky. And he used to do roofing and construction for a living. He got told all the time he should open a company. Lekey Roofing, or Lekey Plumbing... if he married farrah faucett she'd be Faucett-Lekey or Lekey-Faucett... on and on and on...

We have a customer with the name Richard Head. I think he goes by Richard. My landlord was Richard
Powers and he went by the first name of Dick.

Not odd or embarrassing, but my ex had a very distinctive first-name/last-name combination that made him sound like a character out of a book or a movie. In fact, one of our novelist friends wrote a bestselling book with a character whose name was inspired by my ex. (Another one of our novelist friends wrote a book that had a character in it with my name, but just my first name, and I don't think it was because my name is that distinctive.)

Not an ex, but I have a friend who has a 'racy' sounding last name. I wont post how it is correctly spelled, but it is pronounced 'sex-hour'. She tried registering for her wedding in several locations, none of the registering kiosks would accept her name.

Bahahaha! Hands down my favorite Friends episode and I've seen them all! "This is my husband, Mr. Bag." Well tell her my first name honey. "Crap. Crap Bag."

My husband's last name is Aho (pronounced AH-ho), but it frequently is misprounounced as a-HO or similar to a-h*le.

OK, I feel kinda dumb because some people here clearly seem to know what the asterisks are. I'm lost. Help?

I know a couple words that would fit, but I don't think they're it. Like, at all.

Not a SO, but I knew a girl in middle school whose last name was Hook_er. Especially for a girl, I felt bad for her when her name was ever announced lol

I had a teacher in HS whose name is Mr. Head. He also has a daughter...poor girl.

When I had my son, we hadn't picked out any boy names, so we were scrambling to name him so we could be released from the hospital. The admin who brought us the forms to fill out for the birth certificate told us that the lady in the next room just named her son ****head. She advised against it but the new mom said, "Oh no; it's pronounced Shi-thead!"

That poor boy will start Kindergarten this fall; bless his little heart!

I dated a man for a while who had a name I was a bit embarrassed by, and I feel bad for saying that. It's the sort of name where there were numerous very obvious jokes.

My boyfriend now has a name that everyone's heard of, but it's uncommon and I'd say it's fairly uncommon to have it as an actual first name, rather than a nickname. It's a name that most people comment on and it's adorable!

My friend's husband is named Dick Palmer. She had to point it out to me before I understood why she was mad at her MIL for suggesting baby names to her lol. I'm a little slow.

My parents used to be friends with these people whose last name was Pickel. The husband's first name was Delbert, Del for short. I guess his parents thought it was soooo funny when they named him. This name is totally true--we used to get Christmas cards from the Pickels.

I used to work with a guy whose first name was Woody. Nope, it wasn't a nickname. His parents' friend bet them $500 they wouldn't name their baby Woody, so they did.
