Worst name ever

[Mitchell]

Okay, as all know, I have done recent postings on here about worst name, and worst female name. Well, today I saw something that has to rank as worst name EVER, either male or female. The Seattle Mariners apparently have a pitcher who I havent heard of, because I'm a Braves fan, and dont follow the American League that closely. The guy's name, and I swear, is Putz. P U T Z! LMAO! That has to be the all time worst name ever! Can anyone imagine the razzing he got as a kid?
It would be like "Hello, Putz residence." Or,
"Reservation for two, name is Putz." Or in class as a kid, the teacher would call out, "Is Putz here?" Or if he got in trouble, "Let's fine or suspend Putz, or send Putz to the principal's office" Iam sorry, I know it isnt right to razz a guy's name, but I feel for the guy, especially with the universal use of that word as a fool in our society. Anyone with any feedback, I 'd love to hear it. Okay, just one more, Iam sorry, because it is so funny, imagine him calling someone and saying: "Hi, this is Putz!" LMAO! Poor guy!

P'S If anyone would care to confirm this, go to the Seattle Mariners website, and search for either J J or Joesph Jason Putz, and type in his name.

literally translated from the yiddish, putz means penis. it has come to mean an idiot in general terms.

but picture this guy going to synagogue, where the translation is not lost.

there's no way they'd be able to conduct the services.

and hey, for not changing his name - this guy is a real Putz!

Thank you Baron! I hate to say, yes he is a fool for walking around with that name! Being Jewish myself, I should have given the actual meaning, which as you said, means penis. It was just too funny! That will go down in history as one of the all time worst names.

Hmm, Putz is a rather common name in Germany. The phone directory of Munich shows at least 100 entries of "Putz". I'm not sure that I understand why it sounds so funny in American. Is it an inside joke?

Now, we have funny names, too, especially the combinations of first and last name. "Rosa Schlüpfer" for example means "pink slip", or "Rainer Zufall" sounds like "pure coincidence" in German...

Then there's the story about the guy who was unhappy about his name: "John **********house". A friend advises him to go to Italy, where name changes are easy and inexpensive. He follows the advice and comes back really happy. His friend asks him what his new name is:

He replies: "Giovanni Bordello!" 😀

Hal: putz is a jewish word for penis.


which reminds me of that joke about the entertainer named Penis Van Lesbian. he can't get a good break and become famous.

until he changes his name to Dick Van Dyke.

I knew a kid growing up...last name was "Schmuck" (rhymes with "puck").

The whole family changed the last name when all the kids were grown. They changed to "Schmook" (rhymes with "hook")!

Now why not change it to "Smith" or "Jones"?!?!

Hal, in America, putz is typically slang for "moron" or "idiot". Hence why they find such humor in his name. Of course, the discovery that putz is jewish for penis will only add further to the humor of his name.

I grew up with the opinion that my real name, "Quinie", was the worst name ever. I'm not sure I would change my opinion much now that I am an adult. I still hate my name...lol

Several years ago I managed a telemarketing place. Some of the most unforgetable names I remember seeing was stuff like "Bich Hore" (no joke LOL) and "Ding Batt"..i'll never forget those 2 LOL

 

[dskodj]

As for the name "Quinie"...I know this real grumpy UK dude over on the disco forum I belong to and his name is "Quinny". He's a major joke LOL..dont know if the names are pronounced the same or not though..but I dont find it as strange or bad as the 2 full names I just mentioned LOL

I once saw a man on Graham Norton called Dick Rash. His parents really must have wanted a girl.

 

[leafstk]

I went to school once with a kid named Tor.... nuff said But I'd say Helga ranks right up there, LOL

 

[Mephistopheles]

Well, there are people in holland whose name is translated as "Born naked"

I've met a dude named God once, and some people named Sukkel, which means "sucker"

Furthermore I've known this guy named Meij, which is pronounced as "mij" which means me in dutch

so answering the phone would be like:

"Hey, it's me"
"Who?"
"Me!"
"Goddamn idiot, what's your name?"
"My name is me you moronic arsefucker!"

[QBWeaver]

OK. I have a few to add...

My mom used to work for Dorkus Glidwell.

My son used to go to school with Carmichael Blankenship!

I used to go to school with a girl named Dudley and a guy who's name was Dave Fluck!

And my grandpa's middle name was Odd. That's it. Odd.

Some family friends... Their last name is Rogers. The kids names are Rory, Cory and Tory.

And I used to work with a woman who's name was Michael Duane Swanson. Boy her dad sure wanted a boy but she was ALL woman.

Sometimes language translations become funny in other cultures.

During the first Gulf War, our troops were commanded by one General Norman SCHWARTZKOPF. In Gernam, SCHWARZTKOPF means BLACK HEAD. In the USA, a black head is a pimple - commonly called a ZIT. IN otherwords, The first gulf war was led by GENERAL NORMAN ZIT! (I'm glad that Iraq got the squeeze and mnot us!)

On the otherhand, I saw one of my favorite last names when I was working for a motorhome rental agency. The man's last name was Sexsmith. Now let's see. A copper Smith is an expert in copperware, A silver smith is an expert in Silver products, so a Sexsmith must be an expert in...

Silly first name in Holland: boy

A long, long time ago I was working at a Political Survey firm, and the survey we were doing that particular night took roughly 8 minutes to do. The survey was written so that every question you had to say the persons full name in the question. And guess who I get to call on? And worse, the guy wants to do the survey. R. Sniffer. I dial the number, and he answers. Turns out his name is Richard. However, Rich boy is an older cat from the 60's and wont have this Richard business. No Sir. He wants to be called "Dick". So for 8 minutes I am asking questions like "So Dick Sniffer, would you say that the country is better off? or worse off?" Everyone in the room working with me had to stop their calls because they where laughing. Meanwhile, I had to trudge on through, keeping a straight face, and finish the survey. Although, I was biting my lip and banging my head on the table to keep from laughing. We did the whole survey. All 8 minutes of it. When I was done no one could work, and we all were given a mandatory break.

 

[buggs]

Oh, I forgot. Some of the questions I had to ask this guy were:

1. Are you married Dick Sniffer?

2. Do you have any children Dick Sniffer?

3. Do you own your own home Dick Sniffer?

4. So Dick Sniffer, what would you say is your household annual income?

Damn how did I get through that back then?

I always felt kind of sorry for the guy in my class whose last name was Seman.

 

[He-Man]

I grew up with the opinion that my real name, "Quinie", was the worst name ever. I still hate my name...lol

Is it because you hang out with a crazy , killer clown with green hair, who fights a man who's dressed like a bat? Oh wait,nevermind.. that woman's name (well,her last name anyway.. lol) is Quinn. 😛

This one is so funny...

When I was at Lima's Jorge Chavez airpot there was this American guy who had written his initials on his luggage. C.O.JONES.

Cojones means testicles in Spanish.

Needless to say, i was not the only one to notice it in the airport...
