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. My Aunt and Cousin are named Mary and Perry, respectively. Mary married my Uncle Bill. His last name is Berry. Therefore, they are now Mary and Perry Berry. I always found that funny. What other personal information are you willing to divulge to strangers on a message board? |

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. I always fondly remember the day I got my first Rusty K u n t z baseball card, a card that to my teenage self was as valuable as a rookie mint Mantle card. |

I could be wrong, but I think that's a popular name in Hungary. Many years ago I was doing a job in Germany and among the locals there was this older guy called "Adi". I was pretty sure that his name was "Adolf" and that he had to have been born in the early 40s. Attila is also a popular name in Turkey. Also, on Adolf, there was an old NBA player named Dolph Schayes — his actual first name was Adolph, but wisely decided to change it. Also, he was Jewish. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolph_Schayes |

I remember driving past the office of a lawyer named "Capone" in the suburbs of Boston once. |

I've been a college professor for 20 years - - I've never had a boy named "Dick".
Who do you think is the youngest person who calls himself "Dick"? There was one when I was in school (I was born in 1970), but he was trying as hard as hell to be called "Richard" by the time we reached high school. I guarantee as a freshman in college he said his name was "Richard". Once the Dick Butkus/Dick Wolf generation dies off, that name may not be used anymore.
