Someone else simply said: “Tauighlette.” And another shared their own encounter with a translation error which led to an unfortunate, and similar, issue: “I once met someone who had the kanji characters for toilet tattooed on them, after someone told them it meant ‘being useful to those around you’.
'I gave my daughter creative name – I had no idea it had tragic double meaning' A mum’s creative baby name has an unfortunate alternative meaning – and she had no idea.
One mum decided to opt for a portmanteau of the popular names Katrina and Larissa, which she felt were “too common” or “too old”, in order to create the name ‘Latrina’ for her daughter.
Someone else said: “I'm laughing way harder than I should at this.” While another lamented: “I just can’t understand what’s wrong with ‘old’ names, FFS”.
The name was then shared on Reddit in the popular subreddit, Tragedeigh, which mocks the more bizarre and unfortunate names spotted in the real world and elsewhere on social media.
