As an absolute newbie to this message board, I think I should get the sympathy vote for the worst family name to have to search for. When I first started searching for family roots years ago, I innocently typed in my grandfather's name into Google, and had to shut down my computer when I saw what I had done. My sister-in-law thought that my grandfather's name was bad, but was totally horrified to find out what HIS father's name was. I can verify that these are NOT nicknames nor are they shortened versions.... Both are listed in the Yorkshire census records, and I have their birth certificates for verification. Oh dear....
Family name: Muff
Grandfather: Harry
Great-grand-father: Major
