[@Kalashinator]

"Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz" "yeah we callin you Tex"

[@Angel714wolf]

I would call him Gregory 😂😂

[@markothy8]

"Brze...B..rze...where you from?" "Chrząszczyżewoszyce, powiat Łękołody, sir"

[@Ranstone]

"Alphabet" would be a good nick name too.

[@Jyes12345]

Lol it's Antonio today and forever alright.

[@lbzen]

dont forget the 3 jacksons, 4 garcias, and the guy with 6 vowels in a row

[@Ranstone]

A Ramirez or 9. And a few dozen Smiths.

[@JMSipe-yu3up]

You forgot Jones the 369th.

[@karmiccrotal3480]

6 Smiths💀

[@ryanwhiteman9492]

Can't tell you how many times I got stopped because they didn't believe my last name was "Whiteman". Pronounced just as I look. You can guess my nicknames. lol

[@FighterJetOfDoom]

Unironically, Whiteman is the name of an Air Force Base in Missouri

[@Qwerty0791]

@@FighterJetOfDoom If the Whiteman it was named after is black, it literally would be ironic.

[@ferbthe2gadgetguy]

Seeing as Whitman or Wittman is a common surname... somewhere, i can imagine someone used to the name without an e and then being smacked with it.

[@Qwerty0791]

@@ferbthe2gadgetguy White but with the soft “r”

[@jeiwaru]

He woulda been De La Cruz. End of story 😆

[@roadhouse6999]

The people I really feel bad for are the folks from foreign militaries who come to the U.S. to train, spending however many years learning English and expecting names like Smith or Johnson, and then they meet American soldiers named shit like Cacciatore, Menendez, or Nguyen.

[@andysss_play]

"uvuvwevwevwe onyetenyevwe ugwemubwem ossas" Imagine his reaction with that one...

[@JokinIsCool]

funny

[@Blackwinged0]

I like the family feud and Catch-22 name skits as a good example of problematic names: “What’s your name son?” “Obu Obu Obu.” “😅 Did your dad name you that?” “Yes sir. He’s in the crowd right now.” “Dad, What’s your name?” “OBU.” “Who’s Major Major?” “I’m Major Major.” “Get in the car Major we’re late.” “Respectfully Sir, I’m a sergeant. My dad was a practical joker and named me first name Major, middle name Major, last name Major.” “God dammit he’s on the meetings for the next 90 days. We can’t have a sergeant showing up to these things. Major Major, step forward. Congratulations, you’re a major now. Now get in the fucking jeep.” Major Major Major Major

Had a soldier named Robert Locke. His footlocker said Locke,R.

[@Marinealver]

When you get the small letters for your name tape, your New Name is ALPHABET

[@ryansimmonds4170]

A-Aron

[@ans88682]

You playing with me right now?

[@PerryWolf]

d-nice. that's better.

[@CodyHomes]

That's another reason why Call signs, and nicknames are often a better way of doing things.

[@rubendelgado2682]

I always get a kick out of the fact that hyphenated names aren’t a thing, the whole name just gets smooshed together on the nameplate and looks like a clusterfuck of letters 💀💀💀

[@screen2529]

When I was in navy boot camp they stuffed my 10 letter lastname along with my moms 6 letter last name because I apparently haven't been using my legal lastname

[@charlesphillips1928]

[@EM.1]

One reference is to Asiana flight 214 accident when the news messed up the names of the pilots and flight engineer. Wang pronounced Wong “Captain: Sum Ting Wong”

[@n9go]

Fort Jackson at reception in the uniform area has a wall of funny last names. I can't for the life of me remember any specifics but they were hilarious.

[@abp1400]

lol! they didnt' have that when i was there. were they all real?

[@n9go]

@@abp1400 appeared to be! Some of them looked to be from the BDU’s and possibly older than that.

[@abp1400]

@@n9go I actually went at end of bdu era. I guess I just missed the wall w the names. LoL 🤣

[@n9go]

@@abp1400 lol. I went through in late 2021. Had plenty of names from BDU’s and ACU’s alike but none yet from the OCP’s.

[@charlottegibson1474]

Ooh I had a guy I'm my BMT flight who's name was "Shortman" which was ironic because he was the tallest guy in my flight 😂 he got ribbed on a bunch for it and once inadvertently interrupted an exersize because the OPFORs thought it was so funny 😂😂😂

[@hefeibao]

Wait to he gets to the Indonesians...

[@ItsKatosha]

What tribe are you from 😂

[@swisshamanswissha7207]

Antonio today and forever 😂😂😂

[@kenfowler1980]

In our army in my time - they just called you whatever they felt like!

[@hefeibao]

Truth. We had a private last named of Jesus (Hey-zoos). The drills just called him Jesus (Jee-sus), as in the Christian dude. It was always a riot. "Jesus, get over here."

[@BountyMaster456]

Lord, this reminds me of just calling people through our waiting room. There was so many complicated names this last week 😅

[@RazzleDazzle-ro3wd]

"I don't want to be racist..." - Jesus 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@PoorMan84]

The last guy would be called alphabet

[@Arishem34]

I heard some of my best jokes in those formations. 😂

[@petervitkov361]

A soldier with Romanian heritage whose last name is "Daca" (which literally translates to "If") which is pronounced the same way as the slang word "dakka" , meaning "firepower". Don't give that soldier a machine gun, or they'll get the nickname "Gatling" 😂

[@thomas5585]

So that's where that Orkish word comes from...

[@AE-pv9vc]

In the military, girl had a last named kock...pronounced "cook"...

[@manurocker1]

You done fucked up A-Aron!

[@denisemilder9514]

We once saw a hummer with the name SPC P Ennis on the drivers side window lmao

I just finished in-processing at my new unit (super long in processing) and the in-processing workers would never get last name pronunciation right, even when they promise they would get it right 😂
