He should tell them Verizon is some expletive in Albanian or something.

said by Maxo :I don't think that anyone here argues that there should be a legal requirement for immigrants to change their name. Unfortunately the illiterate INS bureaucrats at Ellis Island had a habit of doing this between January 1, 1892 and November 12, 1954 (when the immigration depot was closed) by deliberately misspelling any name they found too hard to spell or pronounce. |

I agree. Not just 1,000 years but many more than that. Some translations and even just the names themselves can come out as expletives or other wise even insulting to US custom. However, no one should ever have to change there name, period. I would be outraged if someone asked me to do so and there would be no end to the battle/lawsuits and what have you.
The US should not ask, or especially force, anyone one to change anything just to "fit in" to our society.
Yes, Spanish speaking but not knowing English is a problem, I think they should learn English, just like we should if we were to live in France, learn French.
But changing something that is so important to many as their name is completely out of the question and this should have never happened. I cannot imagine that this is uncommon, it is very common. I hear all sorts of last names that are what they are.
Here are a few...
Neicewonger
Fingered
Horney
Assman
I could go on and I did not even really get into the different ethnic names.
Verizon is not alone in bad customer service though, this story just happened to pick on them. Every big company has it's problems. |

said by Camelot One :said by ptrowski :I have a consultant with the last name of Dikshit. Your consultant really needs to change his name. That or make certain he doesn't reproduce, and send more kids through school with that name. No offense but it's the typical practical (should I say primitive?) American answer to a problem that shouldn't even exist in first place if schools weren't full of unruly, spoiled kids, coming from "families" where parental duties are apparently limited to provide the Holy Trinity of shelter and food and entertainment.
FYI most countries have existed well before the US, along with their genealogical history and the whole idea to change your family* name sounds completely ridiculous for me - why would anyone throw away her/his family name after 500-1000 years (in perspective: 3-4x longer than the whole history of US  ), long generations of ancestry?
Only to avoid insults thrown out by some stupid boorish, ill-bred loser kids?
What a nonsense.
*: FAMILY name, not last name - to me "last name" shows the lack of respect toward history including your own ancestry.
