You have *no* idea...
My last name, though generating a fair share of jokes, wasn't so
bad. The first 50 or so times I heard the phrase "Horny Toad", I
didn't know what "horny" meant! (I had a sheltered upbringing...)
My wife, however, was/is cursed with the last name of "Cleaver".
You can only imagine what she went through...
Sounds worse than the worst I went through, which was being the human
rope in games of tug-of-war with two of my friends shouting at each
other, "Leggo my Deggo!"
My father, however, had the middle name of Cookman, and one day, one of
his roommates said, "Hey, Cook." He thought for a moment and declined
to respond, because he wasn't going to go through the rest of college as
something sounding identical to "cooked eggs".
