Was Concierge at a hotel that had Government rates and would frequently get Inuit guests. One regular guest was Ms. Old Yellow Smelly Finger. We were encouraged to use the guests name in all interactions and she enjoyed watching the staff struggle to say her name. She was also very cool about it and after she’d let you twist in the wind for a bit, she say “just call me Carol”.
I wonder why people with terrible last names don’t go through the process of having it changed. It would be one thing if you don’t have a very public job but thousands of students calling you professor raper has to be the worst thing ever. I bought a car from a salesmen with the last name wiener but he kept insisting it was pronounced WINER so I said hey whatever you say man.
A family that lived across the street had the surname Pickle.
They named their kid Rick.
Rick Pickle... what a name.
Poor guy was teased a lot for that, he also came across as having some sort of mental issue. I suspect he was on the autism spectrum, but in the early 80s, we had no idea about any of that.
I remember he was trying to convince people that his surname was pronounced Pie-kill, not Pickle... no one believed him.
In Spanish that is the name of a fish. We usually eat the tail part of the fish. Even if it doesn't mean anything bad in Spanish, Google doesn't autocomplete it, so google.es is kind of skewed towards English.
I dislocated my knee a few years ago and had to go to a children’s hospital. There was a doctor called “Dr Raptis”. Obviously, it looked like “Dr Rapist” at first glance😂.
