Speaking of embarrassing/funny names....there was once a 2nd grade teacher in our local school system named Mrs. Pussy...I kid you not.

My dad had the same experience. His secretary dropped a note on his desk on two different occasions. One was "Mr. Pussy" and the other was "Mr. Buzzard". In both cases the caller was waiting on hold. What fun to contemplate how you will pronounce the name without offending the caller.

My wife once worked for a credit check agency. Her favorite client name was "Love Lee Pitts". Parents can be cruel.

My aunt's given name was "Elsie Patricia Edwards". She was always called "Pat" to avoid conflict with her mom "Elsie". When she turned 21, she marched right down to the courthouse and had her name officially changed to "Patricia Elsie Edwards". She announced that change with pride at the dinner table. My dad couldn't help noticing her new initials "PEE". Smooth move.
