Some Japanese names may have appalling meanings in Turkish. I remember speaking to a Japanese person whose name was heard as "Hold my Johnson". When I was on the phone with him, the three Turkish guys in the room burst into a laughter and I was forced to hang up immediately.

During his spell as Besiktas coach, the famous Welsh soccer trainer Mr. Benjamin Toshack was quite amazed at seeing people smile at him when he said his name. He later learned that his name sounds like Mr. Testicles to Turkish ears...
