'Funny' name!

I know a guy named Phani, and it hadn't occurred to me what a 'funny' name it is. Funny how a name which is ok in one region could have a different connotation in a different language.

Update: Apr-30

Another one in a similar vein is the Moto Slim ad. I mean they should have thought about the connotation it would have in India. How can something be a moto and also slim?

Richard's short form is Dick! How in the world!! What kind of a person calls himself Richard then. "Hello, I am Richard. People call me Dick!"

Parsi names are again quite funny. I mean how can a guy be a bejan-daruwala?
