    Something i just remembered from my Latin classes in school: a large amount of women’s names in ancient rome were ailments and negatively viewed attributes transformed into a Name; that’s why Lena is “lazy”. Another one is “Claudia” which means “The one walking with a limp”. So i would advise you to ignore these things - noone has thought about them outside of latin freaks for the last centuries.

          I was 11 or 12 and was assigned Emily Dickinson for a school assignment about poets, I had to do all the research at home because the school computers blocked everything, even the Wikipedia article

          I’ve been aware of the Scunthorpe problem ever since

        I know, it’s the same name, but the post is about your name meaning something vulgar in a foreign language so i felt it had more relevance that way.

    Just own that name you like. There have been cars by major companies named “Wanker” in foreign languages, and it didn’t matter. As long you aren’t living in an english speaking country and choose “Thundercunt McCumdribble” as a name, it’s not an issue lol
