Well, that partially explains why there are misunderstandings among cultures.

Reminds me of the name of Hemingway`s boat "Pilar", it likely has a Spanish meaning too. Searching to confirm my memory of the name, I was surprised to see there is a book called "Hemingway`s Boat". Pilar would be a great name for a game fishing boat.Yet in Spanish Pinar means a grove of pine trees, nothing to be embarrassed about.
Worst I saw in the US was "Pay Day".
The scary thing is that the guy probably thought it was funny. I find most names of this type disgusting.10 X worst I have seen was "Full Of Seamen"

Kaka is indeed excrement in Turkish (learned that from my former wife). Google translates 'çaça' as sprat. What's that? Thought it was a little fish. The 'ç' is pronounced 'g', by the way. My ex sister in law is Inçi (but without the dot over the i), pronounced Ingi with the soft g, or Inji.
