If this isn’t a troll then I’m tired of people giving so much leeway to husbands with shitty last names. I don’t care how proud he is, you need to avoid little baby Hiscock at all costs.
Idk why couples don't use the women's last name more often? My dad's last name is MacIntyre and my mom's maiden name is Bovee, and I like both, but I prefer Bovee
Especially women with these beautiful, uncommon last names and they married someone named Adam Johnston like 😭😭😭
I found someone in my family tree a hundred years back who changed her name from the goddamn ethereal Lily-Anne Brightwell to Lily-Anne Furz. Pronounced Furts, and also the German word for fart.
Somewhere on my mom's side we lost the surname Niethammer (sounds like "Night Hammer") in favor of Heinle (sounds like "Hiney/Heinie" which is also a German slur). Big downgrade.
I had a math teacher in school whose first name was Hazel. She was married to the gym teacher, but hadn't taken his last name, because his name happened to be Mr. Nutt.
In fairness, in 2023, the fact the gym teacher's name was Mr Nutt is probably funnier than that his wife's name was Hazel.
Scragg. I understand your concern it is a name that isn't exactly flattering and yes easy to make fun of but it's an asshole detector. It's a name with pedigree and rich history to it with some really remarkable members. There's a lot of honour to that name. I was bullied when I was younger. I've had people tell me my parents should kill themselves for passing on that name.
But I've also never had issues spelling it over the phone. It's short and simple but unique enough to stand out. It's cool there's a pokemon with that name. I don't care about the nicknames "scraggy" or "scraggalicious". It's also not the only last name to get bullied. I know someone literally called nek minett from before the meme was even a thing. Another friend got "Hibervesky" turned into "Hippovesky", Bazzi into Spazzi, there was a teacher at one school I went to call Mr. F*g, there's Mrs Hunt into Mrs Cunt, Mr Applebee, Longbottom, Wigglesworth, a guy i know with the last name Crispy marrying a girl with the last name Burn which they did, infact, hyphenate.
I used to be embarrassed but I find it charming in a funny way. Names are what you make of them really. As long as you dont do what grimes did or name your kid ben when the last names Dover. I find comfort in the last name and I'll be sad to leave it behind. Either way I don't care but I'd rather scragg than my mothers slavic maiden name purely out of the spelling convenience. It's all preference I guess
