Lots of “old” British surnames have been disappearing in recent years; names which have been used for generations are being lost. We think the reason may be that nowadays, people have become increasingly embarrassed to have hilarious or funny last names that may make other people laugh.
Surnames like Cock, Daft, Death, Smellie, Gotobed, Shufflebottom, Willy, Nutters, Piggs, and Jelly have reduced severely in the last century or so. None of the below people are responsible for their names since the surnames are usually inherited from the father’s line, and the parents pick the first name. We hope that those people have changed their last names to something innocuous.
Which is your most attractive name? Do you know more funny names that exist? Will you change your name if it was unfortunate?
