A while back I read the birth announcement of an unfortunate boy name Polo, which his parents claimed meant crocodile in "some African languages". I looked it up and found out it means "poor" in Finnish. I feel very sorry for poor little Polo, also because his middle name is Hep so I have a feeling the kids in school are going to nickname him polio hepatitis.
