6. you think that's bad?
I shit you not, a friend had a classmate named Hu Flung Dung, just like the joke. One of the Linux gurus who works with our computer consultants is named Dr. Hu. And someone else I know worked with a Phuc Yu. There's also a great little restaurant here...



I can just imagine the advertising campaign. "So, where do you want to eat tonight?" "Aw, Phucket!" If I ever opened a chinese restaurant, I'd call it "Phu King's Good Chinese Restaurant." Is it good? It's Phu King good.

I think the WORST name I ever saw in terms of terrible meanings in English was not asian but Jewish. This kid was in my scout troop. I forget how you spelled his first name, it was something like Anyl or Aynal but you pronounced it "anal." Last name? Gore. Wow.

I just wonder which would be the worst language for my name to be pronounced in.
