Mr Big Tits and Mr Bastard

4 years ago when I first stepped into the French workforce I found some of the French last names were weird or funny, like my boss was called Mr Small.

4 years later I have gradually accepting them, like Mr The Fat, Mr The Tall, Mr The Niceman, Mr Carpenter, Mr Pastry... But recently, I got known to some that are quiet humiliating.

Imagine someone calls Mr Big Tits. I don't know how he grew up, I heard that French kids could be very mean at school. How about this daughter, Miss Big Tits?

And, I wanted to know Aelig principal's name so that I can teach her how to address him properly. I discovered that his last name is The Bastard. That handsome headmaster is called The Bastard, I felt so unfair for him. Hubby said it could be that one of his ancestors, maybe existed during the Middle Age, was a bastard in real life. And the name has been passed down generation by generation. It seems that most of the French are not disturbed by these names, but I just wonder why these people don't just go and change their names. Why passes down these kind of names to your descendants while you can do something about it?

Now, I don't want Aelig to call her principal Mr The Bastard, even though he might not mind, I just couldn't do it. So, it is going to be Mr Principal/Director then.
