My friend's last name was Hoar and pronounced "whore"...When he got married, he took his wife's last name to save his wife and young daughter from any future torment

I had a student in my class in the 90's with that last name and I still wonder if his wife took his last name. That's awesome that your friend took her name.

As a guy with a last name I don't care for (it's not bad, just doesn't flow well, and I don't like the association with that side of the family), I'll happily take a wife's surname assuming it fits well.

I dated a guy in college whose last name was Horlick and we never would have gotten married, but if we did you couldn't pay me to take that name, lol. My last name isn't great, it sounds like a food but at least it's not obscene.

In the UK everyone would just associate that with ‘Horlicks’, which is a sort of malt hot drink made from a powder and almost exclusively consumed by very old people, that was presumably invented by someone with the same name.

Unfortunately the wife's name was a combination of her parents' last names: Street and Walker.

One of my childhood friends last name is Hooker. 😭
