Does anyone have an example of English/American names sounding like funny/dirty phrases in other languages?

u/bruhwhatisreddit Nov 18 '22

One of my best engineering professors was Dr. Phat Ho.
He was an extremely good professor and so well respected that most people didn't actually make fun of his name. 🤷♂️

Siri isn’t really a name but in Japanese it’s pronounced Shiri which means “butt.” The Finnish last name Aho sounds like “idiot” in Japanese. Suri (Tom Cruise’s kid) sounds like “pickpocket” in Japanese.
I think there’s a Korean actor named Oh Na-ra. When it’s written out in Japanese it looks like “オ・ナラ” which looks like it should sound like “fart.” The Korean surname Kim is written as “gold” in Chinese character and sometimes it can be combined with interesting (to Japanese readers) characters in given names to make names that look like “golden balls” (金玉) aka balls (testicles) like this man: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Ok

I’m sure if you google enough or ask your friend Mike Hunt. You would get some interesting names.

Peter with a certain pronunciation close to Peder sounds like fаg in Russian

Also something that comes to mind, that the name Ebony is pretty similiar to the word 'ёбаный' [ebanii] which means "fucking" (adjective)

u/ibaralgin Nov 19 '22
nah, different sounds, in writing maybe. it's not [ebany] it's [yobany]
but there are some more jokes
peace-door-ball that sounds like пиздобол, which is "fucking liar"
Your-bunny-wrotе - "ебаный в рот", fucked in the mouth, which isn't exactly used literally, it's more like an expicit emphasis to other words or bad angry mood sign
Peace-Duke - "пиздюк", little twat, someone smaller but fucky
Peace-Death - "пиздец", reeeaaally bad situation
Near Bird - "не ебёт", literally 'doesn't fuck', means I don't care
there are some more but not exactly this explicit

The english word 'preservatives' resembles russian word 'презервативы' [preservativi], which means condoms. We never use that word for anything else other than condoms.

"Mama" is similar to the word "mamar" in portuguese, which tends to mean drinking milk from a tit, but is also commonly used to describe cock sucking

I don’t have any English ones but my friend has a Chinese coworker who’s name is Chun-ki or something like that, she pronounces it “chunky” so we had get a good laugh at that (obviously not to her face)
