Phuc Dat Bich Goes To Extreme Lengths To Prove His Name Is Real
A Vietnamese-Australian man named Phuc Dat Bich has taken extreme measures to prove to the world that his name is real. The 23-year-old was tired of people not believing him when he introduced himself, and recently had to prove his identity when he was blocked from using Facebook under their rules against using fake names.
"I find it highly irritating the fact that nobody seems to believe me when I say that my full legal name is how you see it," Phuc Dat wrote in a Facebook post. "I’ve been accused of using a false and misleading name of which I find very offensive. Is it because I’m Asian? Is it?"
If read in English the name sounds particularly rude, although in Vietnamese the name is pronounced phoop dook bic.

lol that did make me chuckle, though there is a very valid point here how we should attempt to learn how names are actually pronounced and not how they seem to sound out.
It works both ways if we expect people to speak English, then we should show manners and ask how a name is sounded out. Though lets be honest,.The the Aussies speak English but a very uncouth version, where such utterly wackadoodle words and phrases have been added to the English language.

Poor bloke.
I used to go to school with Asian twins.
They were called Kicka and Boota
I'm sure they were spelled differently but that's how they were pronounced.

I was friends with three Vietnamese siblings as a kid -- the brothers Anglicized their names, but the youngest sister defiantly stuck with "Dung."

Interestingly enough the use of ch as we do in say "church" is quite rare world wide
MOST languages sound it as slightly more aspirated K as in the scottish "loch"

Re: Phuc Dat Bich Goes To Extreme Lengths To Prove His Name Is Real
it is only the combination that is unusual, i suspect based on his age it was done on purpose... some Vietnamese joined the westies pretty quick And we are known for the dumb names for kids thing
bich is pretty common
pronounced more like
Bhh'Ick but fast.
And Didge We speak Aussie It is better than English because it has things like
Dal-maar which is derived from Vietnamese but with the regional variation removed
- Địt mẹ mày (Northern Vietnam): Fuk your mother
- Đụ má mày (Southern Vietnam): Fuk your mother

a good one is "Chunni Mull"
It is truly Aussie although made from 2 Indian words,
direct translation is 'dick head' But Indians don't traditionally use that insult, but if an Aussie finds out how to say Dick they automatically ask how to say head.
As in Aussie Dickhead means Person

Re: Phuc Dat Bich Goes To Extreme Lengths To Prove His Name Is Real
The man who claimed his name was 'Phuc Dat Bich' actually made the whole thing up
The Australian man who made headlines with the Vietnamese name “Phuc Dat Bich” has revealed that his story, published around the world by various media outlets, is a hoax.
In January, a photo of a passport was posted to Facebook, with accompanying text complaining that people did not believe that the name "Phuc Dat Bich" - pronounced 'Phoo Da Bi' - was real, and that the passport holder's Facebook account had been shut down multiple times for an offensive name.
The post was picked up by media outlets around the world as a viral news story in mid-November, with BBC News even getting an expert to explain how to pronounce the name properly.
But, the man from Melbourne has now revealed that the identity was false, writing in an open letter on Facebook signed "Joe Carr" ('Joker'):
The prankster told Guardian Australia that his named was Tin Le and was 23 years old, refusing any request for verification of his identity.

I've never believed it's necessary for it to be mandatory to have your entire name to be published on social media. People should be free to use any name they desire. Facebook needs to understand that it is utterly impossible to legitimise a place where there will always be pranksters and tricksters.
What started as a joke between friends, became a prank that made a fool out of the media and brought out the best in the people who reached out to me. It didn't bring out the anger and darkness that we often see on the internet, but it brought a levity and humanity in a time we need it most.
The prankster told Guardian Australia that his named was Tin Le and was 23 years old, refusing any request for verification of his identity.
His identity was subsequently confirmed through a Facebook friend.Well, you’ll just have to have faith and run with what you have. I’m too tired with it all. Call me Mr T.
