    That’s a very nice thought that I can safely file away as “does not apply to me”.

        A childhood filled with being made fun of with literally every variation of that word leads me to caution you against that lol.

          As a person with a name similarly close-to-dirty, you just gotta lean into it with jokes like

          “Yup, I’ve got two of them, one on top of the other, that’s why it’s plural.”

          Or

          “Yeah Ellis Island fucked up my g.g.grandpa’s name, used to be ‘Schwanstugel.’”

        Thanks!

        I’m amused that your comment got downvotes. Like, why?
