When I was in junior high there was a raffle and a kid put in the name Ben Dover. It was so awesome, because by some stroke of luck, this kid WON!!! The poor Vice-Principle had no idea what he had just said in front of the entire class while he was announcing winners to come up to the stage, so of course he read it multiple time and the hilarity ensued.
Learn to pronounce a mandarin name properly. Whenever you give your name, make sure they know how to pronounce it. It they can’t get the hang of it, pretend to become very angry.
Foo King
Ima ______ (insert whatever you are)
______ (insert first name) Sux
or, my favorite nickname for an obnoxious boy in my class,
Shut Up
P.S. Max, if you think getting an american to say a mandarin name is tough, try getting one to say your TAIWANESE name. or get a chinese to say your english name. it’s the sort of thing which would lead you to bang your head on a brick wall… trust me. i’ve been there.
Stu Pidass: This is my registered name on a lot of internet services
Jack Kingoff: Speaks for itself
Whore O. Matic: Not that witty, but it’s hilarious when I register for something on the web and then, even after specifically asking not to, I get spam saying “Matic family reuinion!” or “Important free stuff for Whore O. Matic!” It makes the Spam a lot easier to tolerate.
Shifty McCrapFace: No hidden meaning, it’s just a funny name to say out loud.
I remember reading that the movie star Jim Carrey checked into a NY hotel under the name “Picollo Thunderbutt.”
I worked with a guy named “Justin Thyme” (pronounced Justin Time).
I was a passenger in a car when we got rear ended at an intersection. Behind the offender was an unmarked squad car with plain-clothes detectives. They rushed to our door and identified themselves as Detective Jones and Detective Smith (or something), to which the driver of our car said “Ya, and I’m Dick Tracy.” Which is his real name. I thought we were going to get shot.
Often I sign in with the hostess at a restaurant as “Christ, Jesus H., party of 13.”
I used to have a shirt with a phony name on it’s back: Little Ricky Alphonzo del Remos Gonzales, Jr., and on the front was “Juan Tough Dude.”
