    BONN, Germany (Reuter) - Thousands of Germans are keeping unfortunate surnames such as Kotz (Vomit), Moerder (Murder), Brathuhn (Roast chicken) and even Hitler, even though they could legally change them, a magazine reported Sunday.
    The German phonebook lists hundreds of people with the surname Faul (Lazy), Fett (Fat), Dreckmann (Filth-man), Dumm (Stupid) and Schwein (Pig), the weekly Focus magazine said in an advance release ahead of publication Monday.
    Unflatteringly named Germans said that they mainly had problems with their names as children and that later in life they had decided not to bow to social pressure to change them.
    "Why should I have a different name from my father and grandfather?" said one Herr Schwein.

    A woman had 8 children, all of them boys. So, one day a magazine sent a journalist to her house for an interview.
    He asked her about the boys and what their names were; she said, "Johnnie".
    "Right", he said, "what about that blond one over there?"
    "Johnnie", she said.
    "Oh, and the tall one with the freckles?"
    "Johnnie", she said.
    "Well, and the little chubby one with the baseball cap?"
    "Johnnie", she said.
    "Are all your boys called Johnnie?" he asked, "Isn't that terribly complicated?"
    "Not at all", she said, "it makes everything very easy, actually. When I shout: Johnnie, tea is ready!, they all come. When I say: Johnnie, it's time for bed!, they all go to bed."
    "I see. But what if you want only one of them?"
    "No problem." she answers. Then I call them by their surnames."
