    Change your surname to 'Shrub' :dontknow:

    My first name, Huw, is a bit annoying because people always mishear it, and also it rhymes with too many other words. And whenever someone says 'you', I always think they're calling me and I do something embarrassing. I just take it with resigned dignity.

    Your name is fine, I like it You should learn to laugh and poke some fun at it. Besides when you get married you can always change your last name.

    I changed the spelling of my name a few years ago because it was silly. I don't think there's anything wrong with changing your name and people quickly got used to it.

    having an odd name doesn't mean you can't be a success in life.

    It's not such a bad thing, I can imagine it being a useful icebreaker in many situations!

    Don't take it so seriously, lighten up a little and just enjoy it.
