He's reading the roll call with a new class, making sure he knows how to pronounce everyone's name, filling out the seating chart, etc. Normal routine, no big deal. He's about 1/2 way done and he sees this one name that makes him pause. He has no idea what to say for the first name, so he just says her last name, "Miss Smith?"
The young lady stands up and says, "Mr. _____, my name is Sha-Theed!"
My dad just says okay and jots down the pronounciation next to:
Sh*thead Smith
Dad showed me his class roster - the name was actually spelled S-H-I-T-H-E-A-D.

This is actually a lot more common than I thought it was. My friend was telling me about meeting a woman with a new baby girl and they named the girl Sh*thead.
There was a guy in my junior high where his first name was his last name, minus an "ey."
I would not name my child Jennifer or Jason. Jennifer is my name and I know and have had way too much bad luck with Jasons.
