Names are very powerful. Some people like Ima Hogg became famous and lived well with a difficult name. Others did not do so well.
Some were born with a good name and married into trouble. Jodi Pass married Bill Gasse and became Jodi Pass-Gasse. One lady I knew never married her boyfriend because she did not want to be known as the wife of a Jack Haase. Alotta Johnson married a man my brother knew named Henry Manure. She became Alotta Manure.
Jay Leno always ended his Monday night monologue with interesting couples who married. I sent him the Shiney-Hiney wedding, and he used it to end his monologue. He also had interesting names of people and their occupations. Dr. Bendover is a proctologist. (I wonder if his wife is Eileen, with one short leg.) My funny names begin with the King family. Joe was a weather forecaster. Would you believe a person who says "It will rain, and I am Joe King"?
