Hey Pandas, What Are Some Of The Most Unfortunate Names You Have Come Across In Your Life? (Closed)

ADVERTISEMENT

Everyone has a different story… and some of them are truly hilarious! I'm pretty sure most of us have had the chance to hear something weird or silly when it comes to people's names or maybe even something that could've left one outright confused as to what just happened.

So, Pandas, tell us the first thing that popped into your mind when reading the title—we will be waiting for your answers in the comments!

Make sure to keep your answers respectful and PG friendly!

I had to read through all the comments to make sure the unusual names I know were not here. I used to work in a bank and we had 2 customers I clearly remember. One's last name was Partypooper and the other Bullerdick. There is a dentist named Dr. Blood in this town. I would have to change my name.

Shame on those parents. If they wanted to see "funny" name combinations, then they should have had their OWN names legally changed, and then given their children more conventional names. This reminds me of a long ago governor of Texas, James Hogg. He governed from 1881 - 1885. He named his daughter, Ima Hogg. Although, legend has it that she had a sister named Ura Hogg, this has never been proven. (Perhaps some joker's wishful thinking.)

Chinese and Korean names usually have their surnames first which would be correct as Guan Xin. Xin Guan would be the way it is written in Westernized writings. So, whoever the person was is technically telling the teachers the correct way they (the person) say their name.

I used to work at a bank. One day a man, who was foreign from an Asian country, came in. When I pulled up his account I saw that his last name was “Her.” I do not remember his first name, but I vividly remember the other name on the account, which I assume was his wife, was “Dang.” “Dang Her.”

Another time a girl came in and made a deposits. Her first name was “Pornpen.”

Perhaps these were lovely names in their countries of origin (I 100% know they were immigrants or studying abroad from conversations I had with them) but some things just do not translate well!

First name isn’t bad, but in the age of work email having your name, I was unfortunately stuck with balcock until we switched email a while later. Oh, and that last name sucks no matter your gender. My bro got a whole lot of “no balls” jokes, and I’m female....

In first grade I knew a girl whose name was literally the word Beautiful. She was so proud of her name, I was in awe that was a name that could exist! But nowadays I look back and hope no one made fun of her for it. Knowing what I know now, older kids would've probable bullied her...called her name stupid...maybe worse. I just hope that never happened.

As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
