Today, I teach English in Taiwan. I got two new students, brothers named Harry and Potter. People, they're children, not pets. FML

stop whining, it's funny. FML doesn't always have to be sad and dramatic.

Erika, when you tease someone's English using poor English yourself, you look foolish.

Their lives are not affected, those are not their real names and the OP can't possibly be so clueless as not to realize that. You can't enter any names with roman characters on a Taiwanese birth certificate, it's neither legally nor practically possible. If he had even passing knowledge of Chinese he would also know that you can't even spell "Harry" or "Potter" in Chinese characters. In other words: these young boys picked those names for English class, that's all.

Uhmm... the standard format for an FML is 'Today, FML'. Doesn't mean he just started.

I know a darling with the last name Potter. She cannot wait to get married so she can change her last name! It can only be cute for so long before it gets annoying....

I know a guy named Harry, who's last name is Dicks. At least your girl friend can get married and change her name. My bud's stuck with his name.

Oh... oh no... What were his parents thinking!? I didn't even know that COULD be a last name!! And she's not my girlfriend!!!

Haha, girl.... friend. Not girlfriend. I wasn't thinking you should be the one to marry her to change her name.(:

Yes because the only way you can change your name is by getting married!

He can also take her name... In that situation, nobody would hold it against him, except for his psychotic parents probably.
