Met another lady with a child whose name I can't even spell out here, it incorporated quite a nasty word but with emphasis on creative pronunciation, it sounded fine if you didn't see it spelled out. Why do people do that to kids?
I worked at an insurance company years ago and a policy came through with the name (I don't know if I can spell it correctly, but you get the idea): Ieatit Burpit and then the last name.
