Is This The World's Most Unfortunate Surname?

Got an email recently from a friend which was an mp3 of a prank call to a guy with the surname Cockhead. I've found it on YouTube as well. It's quite funny and the guy has an unfortunate surname.

But I think the prize goes to Sheila Dikshit, I'm not making this up, who is currently the Chief Minister of Dehli and was on the news recently to say that Dehli's Commonwealth Games village was ready. I think that people without an Indian heritage will find the name amusing.

Poor guys!
I have one over here called "Clever", just.. he is anything but clever, that poor fella!

Once someone called me. (really, happened!)
I said my name (Emperor) he said, what???? we repeated this a couple of times and he ended with... um, I wanted to talk to Mr. King.
Well... sadly I wasn´t smart enough to say, I send you down then.
Names...

The only one I have is from a girl I went to school with many years ago.
She was unfortnate enough to be named Mary Slutte.
Her surname was actually pronounce Sloot, but sadly that's not how it read when teachers called her name.

Poor Mary. People surely mispronounced her surname on purpose just to see her pained to explain the correct pronunciation.
