On an unrelated note, you think Jayza's bad? My father once knew a girl who was named 'Moon Unit' by her dad. And no, I am NOT making this up.

The recent book Freakonomics has a study of names doomed for failure. My fav was a girl named (shuh-teed), which is spelled Shithead.

Then, many, many decades ago--in Florida, no less--there was a gentleman, named by his father, legally named 5/8 Jameson. (Or, perhaps Jaimeson.)

Never did anyone ever find out what the other 3/8 of him were supposed to be.

I know of a last name Lipschitz.

My sister had a professor in college named Dr. Dipschitz. He wanted his students to call him "Dr. Dip."
