The weirdest surnames you encountered

Post Reply New Topic

I can't think of very many off the top of my head, but I used to work at this place that sent out mail, and there was some for a pair of brothers with the last name of Wigger

i had a shrink once by the name of tony screws. i worked with a native-american fella in the army named dreadfulwater. my sister had a childhood friend whose last name was washbucket. in the hospital i worked in, there was a patient whose last name was @$$man- [only it was a woman so maybe she should've changed it to @$$woman]. then of course there is the famous ice-skater ohno [japanese for "little field"]. had a nasty neighbor named honeywell, for whom the surname would better have been honeybucket.

There was this aboriginal brave who went to he shaman of his tribe and asked how the shaman gave names to the newborn. The shaman replies: I usually use an event that happened on the day of the birth like Storm Cloud, Running Deer, Wind in the Trees and things like that. Then the shaman went on to ask the brave: But tell me Two Dogs F*cking, why all the sudden interest in names?

I once knew someone whose last name is Butz.

Natt och Dag (Night and day). Really old Swedish noble name.

I'm listening now to one Polish band. One of members has last name Pus.sy. I know also a priest with this name
Other category: I have met people with names Göring and Gorbachov.

The weirdest surname I encounter on a regular basis is Fournier... it is annoying when people pronounce it as "foreigner" rather than either "four-knee-er" or "four-ni-e".

My own, I'm not going to mention it for obvious reasons but it's hardly a typical Australian surname.

I believe it's Gaelic, but it could be from anywhere...

There is a person in my school who has a double last name, one part of which means a kind of dance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazurka or a traditional cake of Polish cuisine, made on the occassion of Easter, while the other part of her last name is a bad word - it means "dick"
