A classic sketch from A Bit of Fry and Laurie in which a man at a police station has a surname that is very hard to pronounce. Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie play it out as a comic exchange.
HN brings it up as a joke whenever threads touch on long names, name handling or unpronounceable identifiers.

I agree—awkward as it is, there reaches a point where it's just unreasonable to accommodate it: [VIDEO]
Precisely. This sketch always comes to mind [VIDEO] You're under no obligation to accept names that are hard (as in painful) for you (except if you're the police, I suppose. Ironically)
> As a human even if I hear a name in another language I still fundamentally understand that it is language. Reminds me of the classic Hugh Laurie and Stephen Fry sketch "Your name, sir?": [VIDEO]
