This is a real problem for me also.  My last name Graham-Cumming causes problems.<p>For example, none of my family members were able to have Hotmail accounts with our real names (although years ago signed up for one with the name Ivana Watch-Teens-Give-Head to point out how stupid this is).<p>Eudora's built in profanity filter flags any email where people reply to me (because of the John Graham-Cumming wrote: lines).<p>Google used to serve pornographic ads against my name until I complained.
