Phuc Dat Bich. Yes that is his real name as the passport proves. 
 
 IF YOU have ever thought your name sounded bad, spare a thought for this guy. 
 
 Phuc Dat Bich (yes, that is his real name) was tired of being accused of having a “false and misleading” name, so he took matters in to his own hands. 
 
 After having his Facebook account shut down three times, the 23-year-old Vietnamese-Australian posted a picture of his passport to the site to prove it was real. 
 
 “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,” he wrote. “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? 
 
 Phuc Dat Bich loves his Subaru. 
 
 Guess who’s riding in this hotted up Suby? 
 
 “Having my fb [sic] shut down multiple times and forced to change my name to my ‘real’ name, so just to put it out there. My name. Yours Sincerely, Phuc Dat Bich.” 
 
 His post has received more than 21,000 likes and was shared 65,000 times, with many calling for Phuc Dat Bich (pronounced Phoop Dook Bic) to embrace how it sounds in ‘Stralyn’. 
 
 Phuc Dat is a common name in Vietnam, while Bich (“Beht”) is usually a first name for girls. 
 
 One of his best friends, Brett, confirmed Phuc Dat Bich’s authenticity and rejected suggestions on social media that the passport had been doctored. 
 
 He said Facebook had even asked his mate to provide evidence his name was real. 
 
 “He’s able to get through international airports so it is legitimate,” he told the Herald Sun. 
 
 Meantime, is post has elicited both sympathy and mirth in unequal doses, with one on Twitter pledging to name their children after him. 
 
 Facebook friends have questioned the safety of publicly sharing his passport details on social media, while others wondered about the likelihood of identity theft. 
 
 “Who the HELL would want to steal THAT identity!!!,” wrote one. 
 
 The 23-year-old says on his Facebook that he works at NAB as a cleaner and is a member of many Subaru clubs around Victoria.

 In his own words 
 
 Originally published as Don’t like my name? Phuc Dat! ||||| CORRECTION: A man claiming that Facebook denied him posting privileges under the name "Phuc Dat Bich" admits that he perpetrated an elaborate social media prank, according to the Guardian. 
 
 "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," he said in the Facebook status update, signed with the name Joe Carr -- another pseudonym and likely a play on words for "joker". 
 
 The user behind the profile told Guardian Australia his actual name was Tin Le, a 23-year-old from Melbourne, Australia. However, he refused the Guardian's requests for an interview, saying, “Well, you’ll just have to have faith and run with what you have.” 
 
 ORIGINAL STORY: 
 
 "Phuc Dat Bich" is not a 12-year-old's poorly spelled insult. 
 
 He's a 23-year-old Vietnamese-Australian who asserts he had his Facebook profile shut down multiple times over accusations he was using a fake name. 
 
 To prove his namesake to the world, he shared an image of his passport online. 
 
 Originally posted in January, the photo surged in popularity online this week, with more than 128,000 likes and 68,000 shares on Facebook as of Friday. ||||| Elissa Doherty news.com.au

– Wondering why "Phuc Dat Bich" was trending on Twitter Friday? No, it's not some crazy new spelling of a foul-mouthed slam, it's ... a guy's name. And it's making headlines because the 23-year-old is quite unhappy that Facebook keeps shutting down his account over suspicions it's a fake name, Australia's News Network reports. "I’ve been accused of using a false and misleading name of which I find very offensive," the Vietnamese-Australian wrote, alongside of a picture of his passport that he posted to the social media site. "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." His name is actually pronounced Phoop Dook Bic, per ANN, which notes that "Phuc Dat" is a common Vietnamese name. "He’s able to get through international airports so it is legitimate," one of the man's friends—refuting suggestions that the passport had been doctored—tells the Herald Sun. As the Huffington Post points out, the photo was originally posted in January, but for some reason surged in popularity this week, and currently has about 140,000 "likes" and has been shared more than 75,000 times. (Facebook also is making headlines for trying to make your online life a little easier after a breakup.)
