True story. Went to middle school with a girl who had an American mother and a Vietnamese father. His English was passable, but he was far from fluent. He wanted to give his daughter a pretty English word that he liked the sound of: Diarrhea.

Their last name was Ng. Her name would have literally been “Diarrhea-Ing”

Fortunately, her mother put a stop to that and “Stephanie” was forever thankful.
