You guys should respect other pple's name. What do you guys think if someone makes fun of your names because they mean differently in other languages.

**ialsohaveadream** · 10-05-2004, 04:37 PM

I laugh! That's what jokes are for.

**eSDee** · 10-05-2004, 04:42 PM

/me thinks Bach's real name is Small Dong

jk bach. Relax though I didn't go up to her and say "Hey! You know what your name means in American!?!" I just thought it was a little funny and I thought I would share it. Nothing more than that.

You get over it. I've had people make fun of my name most of my life and you simply shrug it off.

I knew a guy named Neil Armstrong. I imagine he was about 4 years old when the astronaut jokes started getting really annoying.

**LegendKiller** · 10-06-2004, 06:55 AM

Heh, my fiance has a friend with a name of Yoho...

**Hopper1** · 10-06-2004, 12:20 PM

I have a friend that works with a urologist named Les Wang.

**BrewMaster** · 10-06-2004, 12:54 PM

there's a restaurant in our area called My Dung. I kid you not. It's a Pho place. Excellent food but I admit that I went there the first time because I thought the name was funny.

**WhiskeyPapa** · 10-06-2004, 01:11 PM

It goes both ways. I worked with a guy from India, he was most amused at one of the local marinas. I guess in Hindi, the name of the place meant something about the size of a man's member.

Leno often has funny names during his Headlines segment.

One of the more interesting names that I know of is Dr. Breast...and yes, he is a gynecologist. I tried to find his website/link but cant. I dont know if he is practicing anymore. I know this because he was the Dr. for members of my family.

He loved his name. He went around telling every halfway attractive female he could. Although... he did like to joke that he felt bad for the people out there named hung lo.

You live in So. Cal? There are a bunch of these restaurants in LA area. Which one are you talking about?

Take it easy Bachviet, I think he didn't mean anything by posting that. It's just a joke. People who laugh at you will laugh at you regardless, people who respect you will respect you regardless........just my opinion.....
