I just entered a name into my cell phone that consisted entirely of letters that were each the last letter on the corresponding number key, meaning that I had to press every single key three times. It's always mildly annoying when you have to press that many buttons to enter a word, but this struck me as a special case of maximized annoyance.

I quickly realized, though, that even greater annoyance could be achieved by spelling an even longer name with the same property. Unfortunately, I can't come up off the top of my head with any particularly long ones using the letters C, F, I, L, O, S, V, and Z.

Can anyone else?

Of course, it only compounds the annoyance when you have double letters and so have to wait 2 seconds or so in the middle of typing. So I think the most annoying possible entry (though probably not name) is "Floozy" as you have two o's and a z followed by a y.
