Would you change your name, or lean in?

If you were this guy:

Would you seek to change your last name so you don't sound like a leprechaun that loves sodomy, or would you make it part of your identity?

 

[The Tradition]

I'd wear the name with pride!

 

[Mister Hawkeyes]

I'd wear that handle like a badge of honor.

And he needs to get absolutely swole and lean in. Make it so no one will ever say anything to your face.

Classic SNL skit

No joke, there was a guy in my small town of 700 with the name of Phil McCracken.

Another one that is funny/not funny. This poor kid in Nebraska was fighting cancer and was recognized by the Husker football team. Was brought into the spring game a few years back and scored a touchdown. Name: Jack Hoffman. Do parents not sound things out before making decisions. Poor kid.

I knew someone named Fuchs from the service. He pronounced his name "fewks". It's German for "fox".

In the late '70s, we had a neighbor, Harold Bush, who preferred to go by "Harry". Harry Bush. That's a tough one.

Bush Brothers

I vaguely remember that name but fail to recollect why?

Lean in, and demand that others address you as “Mister McAnally”.

Yes. That was the way she pronounced it and her family is of German ancestry.

My guess is as people/kids are assholes you are going to be ****** forever.

Also speaking of leaning in Chuck sure got all out of that last name.
