Name Change Should Stop The Snickers
Chicago Sun Times ^ | 1/16/2006 | STEVE PATTERSON

Posted on 01/16/2006 10:43:51 PM PST by Dallas59

Fuk King Kwok was waiting for his driver's license to be printed when his name was called and a chuckling Illinois secretary of state employee offered some advice.

"She [said] this is a dangerous name," the Chinese immigrant recalled. "She [said] the name translated is not so good, maybe I should change [it]. The word I hear is not so good."

Not so good, indeed.

Brother of No Wei, no doubt.

And his rude cousin, Dis Wei.

And his sister who is always late, Phine-Wee.

Thank you! I'm here all week!

He changed his name all right. To Fuk King Jones. He hated the name Kwok.
