Title: My Last Name
Post by: Carolyn on 16/06/2008 20:47:44
....is NOT cock!

Seven times today, I have been called Mrs. Cock!  My last name is Koch, pronounced Cook.  People are always mispronouncing my name and calling me that!  Sometimes it's Coke, Cooch, Koch, but mostly it's Cock.  How does one get Cock from Koch?

This has been going on for 20 years and I'm sick of it! [:(!]

How does one get "Cook" from "Koch" ?, (ex-Mayor of New York Ed Koch didn't pronounce his name "Cook").

Edward Irving Koch (born December 12, 1924; pronounced kɔtʃ) was a United States Congressman from 1969 to 1977 and the Mayor of New York City from 1978 to 1989.

There's a BBC TV show where the running gag is the main character's name is spelled "bucket" but she insists it should be pronounced "bouquet"...

In the UK it's possible to change your name, provided its not for fraudulent purposes.
You could change the spelling of your name from Koch to Cook.

LOL....yes Penile is worse, but how many times do you go into a doctors office and have them come out into the waiting room and say "Neil Penile, the doctor will see you now"?

This always happens to me in doctors offices.  Once, when I very pregnant with Nic, the nurse called out "Carolyn Cock" and when I stood up and waddled toward the door she said "Oh my he's huge"!  The entire waiting room erupted in laughter!

Once I was having lunch with friends at a very popular restaurant.  My demented boss called and asked for me.  There was an announcement over the loud speaker "Carolyn Cock, you have a call at the front desk".  Again there was loud, thunderous laughter!

Today it happened twice on the phone, at the doctors office and the pharmacy!  It's a good thing I have a sense of humor!

My name is sometimes pronounced like Mayor Koch's also.  That's not as bad, as it's never followed by obnoxious laughter.  Don't think hubby would let me change the spelling of our name to Cook, I'd rather just pronounce it Koch.....ooohhhh wait...I could divorce him and go back to my maiden name, which is Cash.  Of course then I would just have to listen to stupid jokes with that name too.

LOL...that happened to me and it was embarrassing.  One of Ashley's teachers saw me in a mall and shouted out to me.  Ashley was too timid to tell her the correct pronunciation while she was in class.

Look on the bright side, your name's not Richard or Hanns or Ivanna, Heidi...

If I saw your surname I would pronounce it to rhyme with loch (the Scotts word for a lake) I know lots of people who are not used to trying to pronounce that "ch" sound and they can't. To them, you would be a cock.

Well, Mr. Smarty Pants......I didn't know.  No one ever called him Mr. Cock while we were dating, but the truth is that I was young, dumb and ho   erhm...in love. [:I]

My surname is Colpman. I have had Coalman, Coldhands, Culpan but never the correct name even if I spell it. I've even started saying C.O.L.P for pervert M.A.N but still they get it wrong. Still think yourself lucky, my friend decided that she would like to have a double barrelled name use her husbands surname followed by her own surname. Problem is that he is called Ian Ferkin and she is Andrea Hill.
You could also be called Bucket and pronounce it Bouquet like the lady on "keeping up appearances."

You've lost me!

Cock in London is a term of indearment used for people you wish to talk to but don't know the name of. I think it comes from Cock Sparrow but a Cockney will have to put me right. I think it is like saying boss.

A popular joke goes:

Man 1: Have you got the time on ya cock?
Man 2: No it is on my wrist like everyone else.

So when people call you Mrs Cock they are actually calling you Mrs Boss.

Hmmmm, according to hubby I am a very bossy wife.  I fail to see the problem with that.

yeh, believe that, go to London, call someone cock and you'll be lucky to live for the next hour!

While I was in London I was called Mrs. Cock several times, and they all said it with a smile on their face.  Wish I had known then I was being called Mrs. Boss.

Look chickens lay eggs and cross roads so leave that poor animal alone, it will never learn to type. If you could get a cock to type that would be worth crowing about!

Today my Dad had a heart attack, so I'm in a Georgia hotel now.  When I got to the hospital and to his room this evening, my Mom, brother and family friend were there.  After I had been there a few minutes a very sweet...and not so funny nurse walked in and looked at me and said "you must be Mr. Cash's daughter....Miss Credit!" ....as if I had never heard that joke before, but my Dad thought it was funny (probably because she was somewhat cute and flirted with him).   Without missing a beat, my brother, the ass of the family said "nope, she's a cock!"  I thought my poor, perverted dad was going to fall out of the bed laughing!

Aren't nurses supposed to keep heart attack patients calm, not do a full stand up routine at the end of the bed with added flirting. It is a wonder he didn't have another heart attack.

Get will soon Mr Cash and I love your new Album.
