I know a guy whose actual name is Anal. It means fire in our native language lol. Not a nice name to have when you’re in the US (unfortunately).

A lot of people (including the prime minister lol) are called Dick in the Netherlands.

  Ever heard of Tricky Dick? It’s what the newspapers were calling Richard Nixon after the Watergate scandal.

What language is that?

  Bengali. But it’s a Sanskrit loan word (i.e. tatsama), so it’s the same in many north Indian languages. I don’t think it’s used as a name outside of Bengal, though.

  Not a kid. Also, I think he’s fine with it. He grew up in India, so it wasn’t a big deal.

    My bad, I missread your comment.
    
    I though he was raised in an English school, and had to deal with the translation growing up.
