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...

And we all love some PEACH icecream, yum yum... I saw a waitor and an English man almost get into a fight once over that word.
Lucky me, the pronounciation of letters in Turkish and Dutch is almost the same, except for the C, G and U (and all those letters we don´t have)...and my name contains none of these letters

that`s because they are considered two different names.

One can then naturally assume Mehmet is a Turkish name. The name Muhammed is not unknown in Turkia, and some Turks are indeed named Muhammed.

I would say both are correct. The "D" you have in the Arabic version does not sound like the letter "d" in Turkish. It is a letter peculiar to Arabic language and sounds something between Turkish "d" and Turkish "z".

we learn something new everyday! thanx for the info
I always thought it is originally the same name but there are different variants
muhamad, mhamad, mohamad, mehmed, mehmet, mahomet ..etc
anyways, that brings to my mind a good book written by Washington Irving (1783-1859) "Mahomet and His Successors"
Bayramin Mubarek olsun
