It sounds more like Julian should get credit for the inspiration, not Lucy.

BTW, kids on the playground can find clever ways to be vicious with pretty much any name.

Oh, cry me a river. You probably have a sexy last name, while mine is a popular brand of fabric softener.

Clearly, you haven't seen his uncle's living room dedicated to Slug art.

It amazes me that people with ordinary, pronounceable last names would ever complain about them. Yes, I'm speaking to both of you whiners.

Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo to Real Madrid. How perfect is that?

Not to mention spellable.

trifecta
 
I (finally) order a new cell phone, and would recommend that anyone thinking of doing the same go to wireless.amazon.com. I got a phone there for $.01, which is ~$100 less than my carrier was going to charge me.

Oh, double cry me a river. You both have perfectly nice last names.

I like my last name even though people routinely mispronounce it and then after hearing it correctly say "Oh, you say it just how it looks."

Well, Ms. Sensitive, aptly named I see.

I am sure I have about the most difficult to pronounce name here. I am quite pleased with it.

I'd make fun of only one person's name here, but that would get old quickly.

I've been wondering where Weed is to comment on this.
