I understand why si´s example sounds weird - but not sure what you mean - what is the 1st person singular in Romanian?

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.

And some Turkish sentences soundslike a Japanese name.

 

Example: Tutsiki Koyama

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...
