I wonder how long it will take for him to tire of the novelty… can kind of imagine he’s already pretty close.

As someone with a name that lends itself to wordplay, I guarantee: he almost certainly finds no novelty in the joke whatsoever, and hasn’t for quite some time.

Actually if he’s willing to embrace it somewhat it might make him a success. Imagine the endorsement possibilities someone like that could get for clothing etc. You know what I say is true. It would be guaranteed viral marketing at least for a couple years till it got old

Well, he is at least in France, where English is spoken less?
I’m also assuming he would get something at least from the replica shirts?

I sure hope so. I mean, if I were able to monetize the inevitable jokes that people make about my name, I’d do it – they’re gonna make the jokes anyway.

This just ups the ante for another player to change their last name to, say, “Christ What N. Asshole”.
