Hi, I would have my last name changed.

MELBOURNE, Australia - The Hell family says it may tell a Catholic school in Australia where to go after it objected to enrolling their son because of his name.

You have GOT to be kidding me. I identify strongly with this family...I won't give out my name over the internet, but let's just say that I have a very unconventional last name that makes me understand where this family is coming from!

I used to go to a counselor (therapist) who's name was Dr. Weiner!!! He was great. I always gave him a hard time.

I think I would change my name to Hello instead of Hell.

That sounds like a George Burns joke, weather.

HEHE in the Air Force I knew two pilots. One was Captain Kirk and the other was Major Minor. Seriously, it was really funny and I could never talk to them with a straight face.

After having my boys, my mom always called their private part their "winky". The other day I was driving along and there was this pickup with one of those magnetic signs advertising their business. And the name of the company is:
Winky Cleaning

I almost choked on my soda! I showed my son and he about flipped out!

It's terrible though when people have such odd names that give them such a bad connotation. I feel for them
