I knew a girl whose last name sounded like somebody would say From czech Republic' (the surname: SZCZECH and the quote: 'Z Czech'. She told me that her mum once called some office and introduced herself with first and last name, and the woman shouted:

"WHY SHOULD I CARE THAT YOU ARE FROM CZECH REPUBLIC":)

I don't know nif it sounds as funny in English as it does in Polish:)
