My last name is pronounced EXACTLY like it is spelled.
However, when we give our name to the hostess at a restaurant/event etc. they ALWAYS totally butcher it while announcing it over the loudspeaker.
So instead of signing in as “Smith” I was hoping you guys could give me some ideas along the line of
Imajunkie etc.
Something that would be hilarious over the loudspeaker.
What can I say? We get bored easily… 🙂

Well, there’s always the ever-popular **Phil McCracken**.

Then of course I actually know someone named Richard Wacker.

Whenever someone asks how you spell that, we always said “just like it sounds”. 😃

I’ve always been fond of Howie Feltersnatch.
Clint Oriss is fun too, specially when it’s prefixed with “Mister”

Well, it lacks the hormone appeal of most of the others given so far, but a friend claims that when going out to eat with buddies he will often give his last name as “Donner” just for the thrill of hearing them annonce “Donner party … your table is ready.”
