I never understand why people do this- either pass this name along to their kids or are women who willingly take their husband's horrible last names. If I were to fall in love with a Butkiss or a Skank there is a 0% chance I would change my name and I would lobby hard to give kids my last name. I don't even particularly like my last name, but I am no Skank. |

I know a Steinke. Pronounced like "stanky". |
| I know a man with the last name Gurley. |
I know a Stanke. Pronounced Stank. |
| I knew a girl with the last name Guzler. She ended up joining the Navy and her first rank was Seaman so therefore she was ‘Seaman Guzler’ for a couple years. |
I don't think this is that bad. I think Helen Gurley Brown before I think of Gurley sounding like girlie. |
| I feel good about my foreign name that nobody can prounounce. At least it's not anything like the ones here. |
| I dated a guy who's parents changed Weiner to Winston. Father was a Dr and I think it was to sound more WASPy in their North Shore, Long Island town. |

I went to high school with a Richard Holder. |
