Vietnamese man posts passport on Facebook to prove his 'weird' name is real

Bich posted a screenshot of his passport on Facebook after his account was blocked thrice

A Vietnamese man has been forced to take the unusual step of posting a screenshot of his passport on Facebook after his account was blocked thrice for using a ‘misleading title.’

The unfortunately named ‘Phuc Dat Bitch’, whose name is actually pronounced Phoo Da Bic, has been greatly perturbed by his Facebook account being blocked multiple times.

"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 said, days after he was banned from the social media site.



"I've been accused of using a false and misleading name of which I find very offensive," he added.

Bich links his frustration to the Westerners’ lack of understanding on Asian names that often appear amusing to them.

"Is it because I'm Asian? Is it?" he asked in a Facebook post.

Bich is not the first user to have his Facebook blocked for having a weird name.

A few days ago, a woman named Isis Anchalee said that Facebook deleted her profile as they thought she was a terrorist.

Responding to the increasing complaints, Facebook Chief Product Officer Chris Cox issued an apology for the hardships people have to go through owing to the real-name policy of the tech giant.



“In the two weeks since the real-name policy issues surfaced, we've had the chance to hear from many of you in these communities and understand the policy more clearly as you experience it. We've also come to understand how painful this has been,” Cox said.
