If you have ever felt like you have a name that is not quite right then you're not alone.

Romanian Constantin Putica says he has given up trying to legally change his surname to something else due to the endless red tape and the laughter his surname inspires in others.

What does his surname mean you ask? Well, it seems in Romanian, PUTICA means 'Little Penis' -- now I wonder what his ancestor was doing that earned that name?

The local paper 'inspired' by the man's plight did some research and found 244 other people with the same surname, but they went further and looked for other 'unusual' names in the area and found 233 had the surname MUIA, which means 'Oral Sex' -- I guess we can figure out what their ancestors were doing to earn that moniker; and several dozens had the surnames CACA, CUR, and COI, which mean respectively 'What the doogie do on the carpet that smells' -- and you thought you didn't know any foreign languages now did you, 'that thingy you sit on we call your a$$' -- no its not a dog in Romanian, an lastly but certainly not least, 'Testicle' -- again one can't help but wonder what their ancestors were up to to be known as a testicle.
