I decided not to go out with him again because I thought his choices demonstrated poor judgement.


anyone remember him?

I went to elementary school with a Jon Fagg.

My last name is mildly embarrassing, but I am still attached to it and did it change it when I married. It was more embarrassing with my sister's initials...yahoo declined her an email b/c it was deemed inappropriate...but she long changed it when she got married.

There's also Argel Fucks (yes, it's spelled that way) the retired Brazilian soccer player. Some newspapers censor his last name when writing about him.

Yep! That guy practiced locally for many years

The urologist who did DH's vasectomy was Dr. Ball. He has since retired, but he had a sense of humor about his last name and profession. DH's childhood pediatrician was a Dr. B. Ong in Washington, DC in the 80s/90s and that name apparently earned him a lot of cred with his teenage patients.

Me, too. I can't imagine keeping a name like some of you are describing when given the opportunity to trade up.
