Default Hows this for an unfortunate name?

I'm watching the Saloon cars on SBS. A drivers name is Wayne King and his sponsor is "You pull it auto wreckers".

: Time to change sponsors (and smack the parents in the head).

Next round of the saloon cars is at Phillip Island on the 12th Aug. The Lovell car will be carrying the aufalcon.com sticker at that race.

Over the years I have come across quite a few people whose names are a bit "interesting"
A few of them:

Ricky Sole (R.Sole)
Teresa Green
Sandra Banks (Sandy)
Mike Hunt
Pieter Niss (P. Niss)
Wayne Kerr
Rayna Snow
Christine Kross
Holly Wood

N.B. I have actually met all these people either at school/work or socially.

There are some other race drivers names I remember from the lower classes, especial Formula Ford & Holden

Will Power (now doing well in Champ Cars)
Ty Hanger

And I'm pretty sure there was a Dougal McDougal or something along those lines.
