  • FyreGoddess, on 01/10/2008, -14/+543Almost as good as the user I had to help out last year. In fact, when the email came in I closed my email program, went and got a cup of coffee and tried again, thinking it was a hallucination. His name?

    Loong Fatt Kok
  • relaxeder, on 04/17/2009, -4/+307"You are traveling in comfort with Chew Kok"

    The ***** I am.
  • 10goto10, on 01/10/2008, -7/+286Do you think Digg-like sites in Asia would have photo's up of guys named Herbert D. Wallace or George Stapleton and laugh at them?
  • card51short, on 01/10/2008, -5/+214no way...no ***** way...
  • FyreGoddess, on 01/10/2008, -3/+134Absolutely true. However, like so many Chinese who come to work in America, he had Anglicized his name. He actually went by Pat.

    And I'm thinking, you know, it's not all that much better, really.
  • canewediggit, on 01/10/2008, -3/+106http://hoovers.com/printpack/--ID__43085--/free-co ... - hopefully the link will work this time
  • kingmanic, on 01/10/2008, -1/+93True story: My fathers name is Chui kei wang in the Chinese order. pronounced chew gay wang.
  • FyreGoddess, on 01/10/2008, -1/+88If the phonetic translation of the name into their language is sexual or bathroom related absolutely they would. Probably they already do.

    But keep in mind that it's not just Asians who get mocked in the US for having amusing-sounding names. There are websites all over the place for unfortunate names and BY FAR not all of them are foreign.
  • Braingoo, on 01/10/2008, -1/+81Pat Fatt Kok Nope still no good

  • bookishboy, on 01/10/2008, -12/+57It's only an unfortunate name if the man isn't a flagrantly gay sadist.

    "Time for a Wong Kok delivery."

    And so on.

    "DON'T:
    Start an argument with a difficult passenger.
    Engage in topics related to politics.
    Challenge passengers to complain against you.

  • kaplanfx, on 01/10/2008, -0/+24I occasionally get emails from a co-worker by the name of Harry Wang, I know it's pronounced "Wong" but it still makes me laugh every time. We also have someone listed Tan T. Tan, rumor has it that her middle name is... Tan???

  • skyshock1, on 01/10/2008, -1/+24My girlfriend worked at a law office where one of the regular clients was named Bum Suk-Sheau.

    The dude had a GREAT sense of humor about it to, when the secretary (Donna) at the office asked about his name he said "Oh yeah, you think that's funny, you should hear what Donna means in Korea! It's worse than Suk-Sheau, I'll tell you that!"
