有哪些讓老外覺得尷尬或好笑的英文名字?

一英國老外跟我說過,一些她的東南亞朋友取的名字讓她哭笑不得,比如 Belly, Candy,Team


lucky ?


Cherry啊!

以前有個同學就叫這個…每次英語角那些外國友人聽了她的自我介紹都會多看她幾眼。


我也曾經問過老外這樣的問題:

得到的答案是,最受不了的是Sweety,Honey,Catty,Sunny,Belly等


Other names made less sense. There was a Soddy, a Sanlee, a Ker. Some

were simply unfortunate: a very small boy called Pen, a very pretty girl

named Coconut. One boy was called Daisy, a name that greatly dismayed

Dean Fu. The dean was a handsome man with blue-black hair, and he was

our main liaison with the English department—a position whose weight of

responsibility often gave him a mournful air. He seemed particularly morose

when he called me into his office to talk about Daisy.

「That』s a girl』s name, isn』t it?」 Dean Fu asked.

「Yes,」 I said. 「Except now in America even girls don』t like that name.」

「I remember it from The Great Gatsby,」 Dean Fu said, smiling sadly. As a

student his specialty had been American literature, and he was familiar with

virtually all of the great twentieth-century novelists. He sighed and shook

his head.

「Last year that student had a boy』s name,」 said the dean. 「He changed it

over the summer. I don』t know why.」
