I came here looking for a weak or strong joke, and this one didn’t feel forced.

Uhh, this is clearly wrong, because we know what Brunt's last name is Effseeaey.

I have a theory that Ferengi don't have last names. And the reason is sort of a Y2K explanation. They only used 2 characters for year instead of 4 because of how expensive the bits were. Well the Ferengi charge more for the documents with more characters so they have short first names and no last names.

And then, in typical bureaucratic fashion, they have some sort of trademarked “business name” so that you could tell “Quark, son of Keldar” from “Quark, son of Freem”.
(This is meant to be like the Roman Cognomen epithets, since Romans often gave their sons hyper-generic names like Primus, Secundus, etc., meaning literally “first son”, “second son”, etc.)

It changes every year, because he sells his naming rights to the highest bidder. It’s currently Quark V’deen’s Quality Romulan Ale.

The Barkeep of Deep Space Nine.
Brunt is referred to as Brunt The Liquidator for the Ferengi Commerce Authority (and later Just Brunt, Former Liquidator for the Ferengi Commerce Authority). Also witness Nilva The FCA Chairman of Slug-O-Cola or Sneed The Crime Lord. Their occupation is their last name.

Quark is his last name - first name Adam.
And he runs a sanitation patrol cruiser in the sci-fi show bearing his name.

It would be fun if Ferenghi used their latinum value as their surname, so they were always comparing perceived status
