The cruelty of parents: the worst names ever

[-Jrabbit]

In my grade school, Penny Nichols.

In my high school, Wanda Dyck. (Really! And she was cute, too.)

And my wife has a relative (in Kentucky IIRC) named Brown Knuckles.

On some research, it seem Prof Hwang's full name is Hoo Suk Hwang.

If it's a Korean ( given the given name, I'm willing to bet that~), it's most definitely not pronounced "wang". Of course, you could just be pulling my leg here.

In which case, I'll have to send Wang Chung over to your place to Wang Chung it.

"Suri" is, however, the name of a breed of Alpaca with moplike hair.

It also means "pickpocket" in Japanese. Or so I'm told by the reliable folks on the radio.

It also means "pointy-nose" in India. Same source. So it's probably as reliable as a paper umbrella in a hurricane.

My last name is Lyon. Can you imagine the teasing?? Queen of the jungle was just one of them.

It's Korean, yes - it's the name of that biology prof who was caught faking his result some time ago.

I know it doesn't sound like English "wang", but I don't know how that means seeing it in text is any less funny.
