His sur name was Wilingastowokowski and her’s was Jones
Still unacceptable. He needs to turn in his Man Card.
“Wilingastowokowski”
Which means I fish on my side, you fish on your side and no one fishes in the middle!
He found record of the names on two successive US Censuses (ummm, censes?) which showed the transition from an utterly unspellable and unpronouncable East European surname to a more (but still ambiguously) pronounceable one from a bit further west.
I have since asked my East European friends how to pronounce the ancestral name and also what it meant. They invariably scratch their heads about the meaning, but they gave me pretty reliable guides to its pronounciation, of which I am the only one in the family capable of reproducing.
So all in all, "Badger" doesn't seem so bad.

Geeze, try putting that on a mailing label or in any of those forms that require you put one letter in each of the boxes for your name.
He’s probably had to cut one up and tape more boxes so he can complete the form.
Voting must a bitch too.
