In HS I had this guy in my class. His name was....
Phuoc Yoo
He was Vietnamese and had a really thick accent. Everyone would drop to the ground laughing every time the teacher would ask him to pronounce his own name. Hilarious! I think as soon as he picked up on english he went out and changed his name to Larry.

If they really wanted to name him that (which is just stupid in the first place), why not just spell it fourreal? or are numbers spelled out not allowed either?
+1....I was thinking the same thing. but thats probably not ridiculous enough for them so they wanted to spell it with a number.
what is with parents wanting these crazy names?!? their children will hate them when they grow up...especially with a name 4real. it sounds all meaningful and shit in the beginning, but when the kid is 18 or even younger, hes not gonna give a shit about the emotional reasons his parents named him that. hes gonna be cursing they off.

Well, look at the circumstances. Do you really expect the parents to have any sense???

There is a resturaunt in Honolulu called Fook Yuen. On that same trip we drove by a place in Kauai called Bull Shed.
Can you guys imagine typing in your name to google or something when you're 14 and finding pages upon pages of discussion about your parents decision to name you. This kid will not be normal.
