I had a teach in college who had a long Chinese name and told us to use the abbreviation LiC instead of using his first name, which made is name Lic Wang.  He actually wanted it to be pronounced Li-C Wang, but I don't think anyone ever did.

I figured it was because Harry is short for Harrison, so it would be Harry Ashe.

I work for a newspaper and we do change of name statements...this is probably the meanest I have come across:

A nice afro-american lady came in and changed her name from (no ---That which is odiferous and causeth plants to grow---) IONA BLACK to IONA BLACKWELL.

What kind of screwed up parents did she have?
