Antz
^ Same here. Haha.

I had a discussion with my family over this at Christmas dinner... they were freaking hilarious. Someone's last name was Fuk(something) but it wasn't how you pronounced it.. it was like Feuk- or something rofls.
And some couple, I shouldn't really say their names, but it was something relating to the word "cock" and involved touching, as their shortened first names.. ._. It was rather hilarious but unfortunate, but very coincidental ph34r.gif
Classic Example
I have a friend named Paul Lee. Lots of people call him Polly. laugh.gif It was hilarious when I realized.
One time, a sub. was calling roll, and the class burst out laughing when she said his name. laugh.gif

There is a surname Boo.
I don't know what that called in chinese, but in english its Boo.
addickshun
my dad's chinese friend's name is 'Fook Yoo' 8DD
LOL i full cracked up when my dad's like "Call uncle Fook Yoo!"
so i was like.. "Uncle Fook You, how's you?"
&._Euphoria
There's this girl named Monica Cheng that I used to know.
In Fujian Monica Cheng sounds like "molesting your butt."
A whole bunch of us laughed our butt off when they pronounce her name. =D
angelic_diablo

- My teacher told me that one of her friends' surname was 'Duck'. They had a son and then at the baptism they found out they named their son 'Donald' haha 'Donald Duck'

- There was this lady I saw on the news whose first name is Mary. She married a man with a surname 'Christmas'. 'Mary Christmas' lmao

When I first heard it, I was like...uh...bum?

I've encountered really weird names since grade school. I remember having a classmate named King David. Kekeke. >:D
And I really think that guys with two old-sounding names is odd. Like in our circle of friends, their names are Jose Miguel, Juan Carlo, Ariel Jonas, Francis Roman, Jericho Vincent. .__. I guess that's why we have nicknames for. I don't think I've ever called them by that because if I did, memories of old Spanish novelas come to mind.

Oh yeah, and my prof's name is B. Araw. Araw = sun. Since no one really remembers what the B is for, we call him "bungang araw", which translates to prickly heat. Hahahaha. And strangely, even our classroom with two large air condiitoners gets warm when he's around. .___.
bigfatPANDA
some people make fun of my name XD
cause it's panphila, and they make weird versions of my name o.o

i've never really encountered another weird name, but my friend's sister's name is queenie. & i was like wtheck? & she told me it was actually a popular english name in hk -o-;;
kuroxkitsuneX3
Do. Just Do. XD Said as "Doh". But yeah. XD Oh, and Yuxhin (I think that's how you spell it) but it's pronounced "Eugene". I'll edit if I think of more. Oh wait, Xi! Because it gets so confusing between "Xi" and "She" at times lol.
xhullabaloo

And my surname's " Jang " , so if my name's Bo-ah, then it'll end up being " Jang Bo-ah", which means go shoppping or something xD

And there's one last name I laughed about.
Dan Cockhead.

Oh yeah, and in that one Taiwanese drama, there was a character named Artz Wu.

so my middle name is "sau". and "sau" in cantonese means skinny. and my name is "sau mon" (skinny girl)
so when i was little, i was fat/chubby. my family always teased me and stuff then one day when they started saying my name i started to cry and told everyone to call me "fay mon" (fat girl)

yeah i still get teased till this day.

i don't think that my name is that funny, but some people say it's unique. my name is anhpha (pronounce it as onfa). it's not really a viet name for those of you who are wondering. my mom just put two names together and then ta-da. i grew up thinking that i was the only anhpha and thought i was special, but actually there's another girl with my name, she lives in texas. and she's older than me so technically she was named first >:[. i'm anhpha nguyen and she's anhpha dinh. <--- which name sounds better??? jk. but yea people joke all the time cause my name sounds like "to eat pho" in vietnamese. for clarification pho is just another one of the vietnamese noodle soups. yep :]
