This reminds me of an AITA post where a woman did volunteer work in some African country, and while there the people she was "helping" were calling her an Amharic name they claimed meant "generous one" or something along those lines. This eventually lead to her naming her baby that, only to later find out from the OP of the Reddit post that it was their equivalent of "bitch".

Why you should probably do some Googling first if you ever decide to give your kid some horrifically unique name.
