There are a number of foreign names that sound comical or even obscene to our ears.
However, foreigners are also very amused by some Russian names.
What Russian names make foreigners laugh
For Italians, the name Galina sounds funny. In Italian, the word gallina means "chicken".
In Spanish, the word gallina also means "chicken," but it is pronounced "gayina."
In Serbia, Montenegro and eastern Croatia - in general, where Serbian is spoken - Ludmila should not introduce herself as Luda.
In Serbian there is a word "luda" which means "crazy". So it is better to use the full name.
But English speakers find the name Oleg funny. For them, it sounds like "o leg", which is translated from English as "oh, leg".
