I really feel sorry for pr1cks like you, do you not realise what it is like having to live with an embarrasing name,being ragged at school, being the but of playground jokes, I have
an embarrasing name, so i know the feeling very well,
although most children seem to mature and accept and respect the person with the unusual name at about twelve to thirteen years of age,
but having said that, every so often, we meet someone with half a brain and think it is clever to laugh at such a person,
I have worked many years in a coal mine with men who are as rough as any one you could ever meet, and not once did I hear any remarks about my name,
The last time i heard a sarcastic remark was when i was a lorry driver thirty years ago, he promptly received a knuckle sandwich, which removed two of his front teeth, but i have to give the chap credit as he was man enough to appologise to me afterwards, It just makes me feel sad that there are still @sholes like you still arround.
