It seems that
there is some sort of unwritten rule that when celebrities have babies, they have to name them something strange.
A new A British translation firm called “Today’s Translation” asks the question, “whats in a name.” The new service is supposed to help parents-to-be avoid embarrassment down the road.
Take The name Suri Cruise for example. Suri, translates to “pickpocket” in Japanese, “turned sour” in French, and “horse mackerels” in Italian.
“It sounds incredibly nice, but in Japanese, we found it means pickpocket,” said Jurga Zilinskiene, the company’s chief executive.
For about $1,700, the company’s linguists will perform a “name translation audit,” meaning they’ll check out the name in 100 languages.
“You’ll rest assured you are picking a good name,” Zilinskiene said. “At the end of the day, it’s something a person has to live with for the rest of their lives.”
