Unfortunate surnames of the past #1

I once knew a very attractive young lady whose parents had saddled her with the initials VD!

Ooh, you've got to be careful with initials. My wife, as an engineering student was horrified to discover that her maiden initials NVH was an acronym for Noise, Vibration & Harshness.

BTW, she claims she married me for my surname (Edwards). But my recently married sister is already getting sick of explaining her new much more complicated surname!

I have recently found a distantly related family called Fidler. A large family which includes a Fanny and a William!

I visited a farm a couple of years ago and the owners name was Strange, now that in itself is strange but I'm sure his parents weren't thinking when they gave him his christian names - first name frank, not sure on his second name but the entrance to the farm had the grand title of "F N Strange" Could you imagine some officious person asking if he was f___n strange?

I wanted to call one of my daughters Victoria but could not saddle her with those initials....our surname starts with D..
