Oh, when you add cross language mix ups, well .... you get unfortunate mix ups. But the parents weren't intending/anticipating those. I knew a guy named Won Suk Yoo that got endless tormenting, kids can be so cruel. He probably owns some corporation now.
One of the strangest names, and coolest for that matter, that I've run into is Dweezil Zappa.
I guess my real question is, why would parents, knowing possible unfortunate pairings, put their kids through the potential torture? Everyone gets used to their own name, whether they like it or not, and it's part of your identity, so I'm not realy poking fun at anyone particular. Me, I like part of my name and hate my middle name - got my share of ribbing for it, and it's not what would be considdered off the wall. I'm wondering more about the parents ....
