'Most unfortunate names' revealed.

I recall that somewhere in Germany there was some Rosa Schwein, nee Ferkel (pink pig, born piglet).

And in Linz there are two gynaecologists with odd names to fit their profession: Dr. Spreitzer and Dr. Möseneder.

Landeck, Tyrol has a Mr. Adolph Hittler --- and some place in Germany had a "chamber decoration service" run by a Mr. Rudolf Hess.

In my first year of grammar school my Chess teacher's surname was "Schoißwohl" ("sh*t well" ... his colleagues called him "Gagabene" ) ... and I have an acquaintance with the surname Fickerle (ficken = to *ahem* fornicate) - and in school one of my class mates' surname was Vögele (vögeln = well, same as ficken).

Finally, one of my class mates' surname (later) was Croft. His sister was born in 1990 and ever since nursery (i.e. age 3 = 1993) she was nicknamed Lara (for Lorraine). Well, big wonder what happened when Tomb Raider came out in 1995.

In Innsbruck, we also have a Prof.-Ficker-Weg (Prof.-F*cker-Drive). He actually wasn't a professor but instead had a doctor title (Dr. Julius von Ficker)- they added the Prof. on because they were fed up with all the tourists who took a picture of the road-sign "Ficker-Weg".

...Addendum: I again forgot to mention that I have an ancestral line whose surname was "Schluckebier", which translates to "drunkard" --- what a nice and subtle name for my ancestor. Suppose the love of good cheese, good beer and good women is genetic after all.

OK, I gotta add a few here. I got halfway through the first page, and I was laughing. My girlfriend loved it. Her OB/GYN for her second son was named Dr Beaver. There is also an OB/GYN from her hometown named Dr Knuckles.

My Reiki teacher several years ago was Horace Bush. His father was Harry Bush.

Horace and I worked at a Metaphysical center. The owner was Mike Love, and Horace Bush and Woody (me) worked there. Harry was a massage therapist that used to come hang out. When the 4 of us were around, there was Woody, Love, Harry, Bush. We got several miles out of that one.

OK, that's all for now. It's sad...now, I'm going to go back and finish the earlier posts in this thread. It's not helping my neck...I twisted it earlier, and then had to sit through Race to Witch Mountain in a theater.
