Poor Guy with a Wierd Name

I was on my way to dinner last nite, and we were listening to the radio in the car. There was this segment where they were talking about the wierdest names one could name their child. So the 2 DJ's were talking to this poor guy who was one of the victims of this "wierd name" cases. Well, 20 odd years ago, his mom innocently named him Benjamin. Unluckily for Benjamin, cos he was born into a family who's family name was Dover. So his full name was Benjamin (some middle name) Dover. I can't remember what his middle name was. Anyway, as time grew by, ppl got sick of calling him Benjamin, so they shortened the name, as many would, to Ben. So what was left of this guy's name?? BEN DOVER!!!!! How wierd sounding is that?!!!??! Ben Dover, as what "Bend Over" would sound. So this poor guy was left with all the teasing and name calling of all sorts..poor thing. He even tried changing his name at the age of 14, but he didnt succeed at that. He's still stuck with that name till today.
