My last name (Morishita) get's filtered from GMAIL because it has a 'bad word' in it.?

I am not allowed a simple/professional Gmail address because my Japanese last name has an American profanity in it ... is there a way around this? I want my Gmail address (firstname)Morishita@gmail.com just like many other Americans get to have. I had set one up that was my last name backwards but was too hard to explain to people. I should not have to do this. What can I do?





Additional Details





To answer some of the rude answers I've received so far: I live in America. I am a 4th generation half Chinese-half Japanese US citizen. Yes, I got made fun of in ELEMENTARY school because of my last name but I am not going to change it because of stupid other people.





(this is not from stupid comments)





I have tried to contact Google and have not gotten responses. I placed the question here bc this site gets more hits Gmail offers many perks like message forwarding and cell phone database that allows me to have a central data base for all my info. Thanks for suggesting it though ... i may have not been clear enough in my original posting.

.... I'm not really sure if there are any ways around that other than contacting gmail - which you have already done so I'm not much help, am I. If gmail doesn't respond, then I guess you'll just have to make a different e-mail address. Sorry I didn't have any better advice!
Reply:I sense that you're proud (justifiably) of your name, but would you consider performing some cosmetic surgery on it, say, using leet-speak to change the disallowed part of the name? Perhaps Morishlta (lower case L)?





Hope that helps.
