My realy name sounds very odd in Portuguese and can e constued as Rainha Chupeta, which can mean Queen (Sex Act.) Not a great name for an adolescent boy. Luckily that mistake didn't happen to often.

When my bf graduated, one of the people getting their degree had the Hindi surname of Dikshit. Hilariously, on the jumbo screen that showed several names at a time, someone with the last name Cockburn was presented on the same slide. :)

them are from Bangkok.


Porn is a popular Thai nickname for girls meaning "gift".

I'm not sure if it's an actual name or just a joke, but I once saw a petition signed
Apyar Anus.
