Is Bigbuttson an actual name? That is funny to an English speaker.

Just as funny as something like Takeshita, which is a real Japanese surname.
If I was working with someone with that last name I definitely wouldn’t bring it up.

Can confirm, went to (an English-speaking) school with a Takeshita. Juvenile jokes were had.

It sounds better than it reads with the appropriate pronunciation, but with a western accent.

If his first name was Bigsby I’d probably be laughing too. Though I doubt I’d put that in writing, in particular in anything remotely corporate related.

It's also pretty offensive to your customer if that's their name.

Maybe it’s a pornography company...? Maybe people should chill the fuck out with the constant thirst for being offended.

Deliberately not an actual name, but I'm guessing the actual one he referenced is along those lines (he specifically mentioned it being Nordic)
