Call me crazy, shallow or whatever the hell you want to call me but I have some of the weirdest pet peeves ever!

Have you guys ever rejected OR refused to date someone b/c they had a name (1st or last) you could NOT spell, pronounce or that sounded crazy?!

I had to turn down this 1 guy b/c his name was William Diksucbean! Yeah yeah yeah I know he might've been a great guy, BUT I couldn't help but to wonder if I could really stand to be with someone with that last name, let alone be married to someone with that last name!!!!! The whole time I was imagining the embarrassment on our kid's faces when they finally get to school & have to hear their last name being announced for attendance!

I'm also funny about hair lines on a guy. It's 1 thing if you're balding..ok who cares, it'll eventually happen to most men, BUT if a man's hairline is literally receeding or or if his head is oddly shaped, I'll think twice about dating him! This 1 guy I saw a few weeks ago had a hair line that STARTED (not ended!) at his ears! Wowzers!

I meet a guy one whose name was Huang Dong... take the a out of the first name and that's its pronunciation. There was another guy named Richard Dick. Yep, Dick Dick. I got to see lots of funny names working in the auto shop. One day I was calling to tell Richard his car was ready and one of our grease monkeys had come up front. I told the kid that I had to call this customer that I hated. He asked why I didn't like the guy and I replied, "He's a dick". The kid laughed but I said no, really he is and he knows it. I tell him all the time. He said I was lying, there was no way I talked to customers like that... I said, oh yeah, watch me! So I called him...

Me: Hello Mr. Dick, this is ....blah blah... your car is ready.
the customer responded and we chatted for a second. The grease monkey was cracking up.
Me: Okay Mr. Dick we'll see you then.

I hung up, and said again "wow that guy is a dick". My co-workers jaw was on the ground. It was hilarious.

Never had that problem as far as dating someone with a really bizarre last name. I definitely have preferences though, I have a real thing for S names lol. Certain names make me think a little prejudicedly.. but not a total dealbreaker. (ie Larry, white trash name) Yeah I know, I know, its not very nice... but I do try to dismiss it, its just the first thing that comes to mind. My stepdad knew a girl named Crystal Chanda Leer, and a pair of very heavy set twin girls named Ima and Ura Hog (omg how could their parents do that?!).. and I went to high school with a guy named Dan Gerous Lee.
