Embarrassing Last Name	comment	While the Embarrassing First Name deals with the character not liking their first name and the Embarrassing Middle Name with the middle name, the Embarrassing Last Name is where a character has a last name that sounds embarrassing to the public. It may be a sign of Unfortunate Name or Unfortunate Implications. Sub-Trope of Shed the Family Name. Also see First-Name Basis or Only Known by Their Nickname.

Embarrassing Last Name / int_37a71462	comment	Les Misérables has an amusing tangent discussing the origins of the name of the Gorbeau House, where Valjean and Cosette end up living. It was originally the site of a law practice run by guys named Renard (Fox) and Corbeau (Crow), who were widely mocked for their last names due to the combination of those names, especially in combination forbiddingly suggesting that they were amoral attorneys, and because it suggests the fable of the Fox and the Crow, whose verse telling by Jean de La Fontaine is almost universally known in France. Eventually, the two petitioned the king for permission to change their names, and he agreed, decreeing new surnames for them. Corbeau was luckily renamed Gorbeau, but Renard was less luckily renamed Prenard ("taker"), a name suggesting someone greedy and/or a thief.

Embarrassing Last Name / int_7668653a	comment	Admiral Zaal'Koris vas Qwib-Qwib, from Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3. This is the result of: 1) his culture taking their last names from the ship they are assigned to after completing their Coming of Age ritual ("Koris" is his family name), 2) his civilization buying/salvaging/taking any ship that can be of use to them, and 3) the fact that some ships have a galactic registry that makes simply renaming them extremely impractical. This is something of a sensitive topic for him, which Tali warns you of beforehand, but you are free to ignore this advice for the lulz. He states that he's hoping to get a ship with a proper Quarian name such as the Defranzh or the Iktomi... which would still lead to instances of this trope from the perspective of many humans (note that "vas" always prefaces the ship name).

Embarrassing Last Name / int_b0fc9724	comment	Saturday Night Live has a skit rife with them due to an earthquake at the office to legally change one's name, such as Donald McRonald, Mark Peanus, Mario Pardi, Ty Neadik, Morgan Mindy (Nanu nanu!), Holden Tudiks, and one that the reporter won't say because it sounds racist — even if the person insists it's pronounced like 'cigar', a Black woman says it instead sounds like the N-word on a British accent. There's also one civilian who passed by to rescue people, Alan, asks for only an initial, and they used it in the wrong one (A. Hitler), and the show's host (Kumdungeon).

Embarrassing Last Name / int_e5124625	comment	The protagonist of Donald E. Westlake's novel Help I Am Being Held Prisoner has the extremely unfortunate last name of Künt (pronounced Koont, and he insists on the umlauts, or little dots above the unote Which in reality makes them not pronounced "oo", but the actual vowel doesn't exist in English). This would be bad enough under ordinary circumstances, but when he goes to prison it threatens to become completely intolerable.
