    Why don't people with ridiculous family names change them? Deed-pole or whatever its called can get that sorted quick.
    Why go around named after genitalia or a name so close to sh*tter? Sure it might be good for a few pick-ups, but the novelty must wear off.

    What would you do if your proud family name carried sphincter or testicular related euphemisms.

    Can you even change your surname?

    Anyway, I would get on with life and leave immature spa's be immature spa's.

    I wonder why people would keep the name Hore-phone book list 23 of them but I'd say there's a lot more who've had it omitted. Shatter is probably a made-up name from something Jewish.

    Double barrel names are usually bad enough but Hore-phone is a really weird name.

    Shatter isn't that bad a name.

    I always giggle like a school boy when I see the name Alan Shatter


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,299 ✭✭✭✭later12


    I don't see what's so particularly unappealing about 'Shatter'.

    In our family the boys have a different surname to the girls. This is the way it's always been. The girls are named after my Dad and the boys are named after my Mum. It's common enough in (particularly rural) families where the mother was the only child (to keep her family name alive, I believe).

    Aanyway, the point is that most people (depending on date of birth) have no actual surname on their birth certificate. For us boys to have our mother's surname, we didn't do anything special. My Mum just wrote that name on our passport applications, based on her own remaining surname.

    Same with me, except they're are no girls in my family (not even my mother) so I was raised as a girl. Very confusing, all the other girls used to think I was weird when I entered the girls bathroom and couldn't find a urinal so I had to go in the sink.
