Now Spike, if you want some fun with names, consider German names.  Swartzkopf, for example, translates as 'black head'.  Helmut Kohl died recently:  Kohl = cabbage.  For a bit stranger, Kohlschreiber - cabbage writer.  Dignity?

Billw, a German guy figured out relativity.  Cabbagewriter lacks dignity relative to Baker, Smith and Carpenter, but it comes in well ahead of Recordyouhumping and Phonypornomaker.  It’s relative.  Then you know it is the hip thing to keep both parents’ names, with a hyphen.  Either way you stack these two, you can see the other kids giving them a bunch of crap at roll call and at graduation ceremony the audience will snicker and ridicule.

 

The Dark Ages saved us from that.
