This is what it's like to live with the surname 'F*ck.'

Life can be so unfair.

Poor, Mr. Guilherme Carabagiale Fuck. His last name is actually pronounced “foo-kee” but when someone sees your name on a piece of paper, it really doesn’t matter.

Because, his name is Fuck. Forever.

Fuck hails from Brazil, but his last name is actually of German extraction. At the moment, Fuck plays professional basketball in Canada for the Rattlers, where he is a rising star.

Now we bet you’re wondering what’s emblazoned on the back of his singlet?!

Turns out it isn’t his surname.

No, unfortunately his college has opted to use his other last name Carabagiale.

I know. What the f***?

But Guilherme is proud of his last name. So proud, in fact, he’s decided to use his real name to play in Canadian Colleges Athletic Association national championships.

As he says, “It doesn’t mean what everyone thinks it means. In German, it means fox.”

Now we asked the internet whether that was true. And we were a bit surprised at what we found:

Yes, not only does the German word for Fox look a lot like Fuck, “der Schlaufuchs” is the word for clever dick. Cue some school-room giggling. Anyway, back to Fuck’s story.

Fuck’s basketball coach Craig Price agreed it was time to start referring to the poor bloke by his real name.

“In a lot of ways, at the beginning we were just going to avoid any confusion or any potential issues, whereas now we’re at the point of, this is the guy’s name, he’s an all-Canadian,” Craig said.

“We shouldn’t be avoiding it, he’s proud of being a Rattler and we want to support him.

“He takes great pride in his heritage, in where he comes from, and technically in what his name is.”

Good for them. He’s a Fuck and he’s proud. And Canada basketball is proud to have a Fuck.

As an aside, it turns out that Mr Fuck doesn’t actually call himself that on the internet (and to be honest, who can blame him?).

Mr Fuck calls himself Mr Fuki on Facebook.

It is at this point also that we realise that this bloke’s name is Guy Fuck.

FFS.

What’s the most uncomfortable/unexpected last name you’ve encountered?
