Do you think women ever choose to not marry a guy based on his last name? I think if Jane Smith starts dating Bill Hitler she should consider other options.

You remember on Married With Children how Marcy got divorced and later married Jefferson D’Arcy, thereby becoming Marcy D’Arcy? My wife’s sister married a guy whose last name rhymes with her first name just like that. They’ve since divorced and she went back to her maiden name, sparing me a lifetime of immature giggles and eye rolls.

Some of the names floating around out there make me wonder why someone in the family didn't just change their name generations ago. Smelley (SIC), Gurley (SIC), stuff like that. Makes me wonder how bad it would have to get before one of these idiots couldn't take it anymore. What if your last name was just Fart, or Pussy. Wouldn't you change it? So why the hell keep Smelley or Gurley?

The silliest, easiest name to make fun of in all of history also happens to belong to maybe the toughest tough guy imaginable as well:

Dick Butkus.

When you name is literally Dick Butt Kiss the bullies don't even have to try. Maybe a bit of easy bullying can have the reverse effect. He turned out to deal with it pretty well.
