The last name "Quiddlebum" sucks, especially if you're marrying into that name. I'm glad I found a man with a nice, normal, easily pronouncable last name so I no longer have to spell the name for everyone.

But here's a pretty crappy name for you. My mom is straight off the boat Sicilian (well, WAS in 1969). When she was born, her parents named her - get this - Crocifissa. Which as you can imagine is the Italian word for "crucifix". I guess it's a family name, yada yada yada. But when she came to be naturalizied in the United States, she wisely "translated" the name and now her legal name is Christina.

Bless her heart, I discovered this fact after searching through legal documents to get my passport. She never breathed a word of it before, and she's still embarassed about it now!!

Adolf was a popular German name pre-1945, it obviously declined in popularity after World War II. It's also pronounced with a short-a, not a long one.
