File in the who gives a shite what his name is category. Pretty damn clever. Weak minded people aren't just in this country I see.
quote:

A former soldier from the U.K. who changed his surname to "Fu-Kennard" for a laugh says the joke has backfired — he was denied a passport.
quote:

Kenny Fu-Kennard, 33, whose surname used to be Kennard, changed his name in 2016 and even got a driving license under his new moniker.
quote:

But when his passport expired and he applied for a new one this year, his application was denied because his name "may cause offense."
quote:

"Life's too short to be boring," he said.
quote:

"I don't want to change it again, especially because they're restricting my freedom.
quote:

"I like Fu-Kennard."

I think it's pretty funny. Not something I would do but still funny.

It would make much more sense if instead of renaming his name to "FU- (original last name)"
to rename his last name to something like "FU- Obama" or "FU-Trump".

He should be more outraged that his parents named him Kenny. Should have changed that than try to be cheeky.

What other names are denied a passport due to potential offense?

Is someone named Bom denied one because that translates to “frick you!” in Polish?

How does this need to be spelled out?

That would make no sense.

when my daughter was playing softball in FL there was a team of ringers that called themselves Florida Unlimited Complete Kaos, they had F.U.C.K. on their hats , jerseys, and pants, didn't even make through the first tournament before they were told to clean it up, all they did was remove the C.K., 13-14 year old girls

That's quite a bit more extreme.

I hear they did the same to Asswipe Johnson, who insists it is pronounced “As-WEE-pay”.
