Pakistani diplomat who was rejected because his name translates to...

6.巴基斯坦外交官被拒籤,因爲他的名字的意思是...

In 2010, a high level Pakistani diplomat was rejected as Ambassador of Saudi Arabia because his name, Akbar Zeb, equates to "biggest dick" in Arabic. Saudi officials, apparently overwhelmed by the idea of the name, put their foot down and gave the idea of his being posted there the kibosh.

2010年,一位高級巴基斯坦外交官被指派爲駐沙特阿拉伯大使,卻因爲名字問題被拒籤。他名叫阿克·巴瑞伯,在阿拉伯意思是“最大的JJ”。沙特官員顯然被這個名字的意思給壓垮了,他們鐵了心覺得他被派過來簡直就是鬼扯。

Akbar Zeb is no newcomer to politics. In fact, you could say he's a pretty big deal. This long-ranging, high level diplomat has worked with some of the largest members of world governments – players charged with negotiating the outcome of the world's current events. He most recently served as High Commissioner Designate of Pakistan to Canada, and prior to that he was the ambassador of Pakistan to South Africa.

阿克·巴瑞伯並非從政新人。實際上你可以理解成沙特是賺到了。這位任期極長,級別極高的外交官曾與一些從世界各國政府官員到球員的重要人物一起工作,負責談判世界當前事件的結果。他最近擔任巴基斯坦派往加拿大的高級專員,在此之前,他是巴基斯坦的南非大使。

名字可不能隨便起!悲催名字的悲催故事(下) 第3張

In 2009, a 3-year-old boy named Adolf Hitler and his two Nazi-named younger sisters were removed from their New Jersey home and placed in state custody. Adolf Hitler Campbell and his sisters, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell, were taken from their Holland Township, N.J., home by the state's Division of Youth and Family Services

2009年,一個名叫阿道夫·希特勒的3歲男孩和他的兩個同樣以納粹命名的妹妹被從新澤西家中轉移到拘留所。阿道夫·希特勒·坎貝爾和他的兩個妹妹,喬伊斯琳·雅利安民族·坎貝爾和honszlynn hinler珍妮·坎貝爾,(這是希特勒兩個下屬的名字,中文翻譯不明)被從他們在新澤西州荷蘭鎮的家帶到青年和家庭服務中心。

Their father, Nazi-lover Heath Campbell, has a long history of being a wife-beating tyrant who was obsessed with the devil. The unemployed Campbell lives off of disability payments and drives a green 1985 Pontiac Bonneville adorned with a swastika on its hood and Hitler stickers on the passenger side Campbells made national news when a ShopRite supermarket refused to sell them a birthday cake with Adolf Hitler's name on it. The story also generated a slew of angry Internet chatter. Forensic psychologist N.G. Berrill said naming a boy Hitler could be considered child abuse.

他們的爸爸是一個納粹愛好者,希斯·坎貝爾,是一個有長期毆打妻子歷史的暴躁狂,他一定是着了魔鬼的道。失業在家的坎貝爾靠殘疾補助生活。他開一輛綠色的1985年的博納威,車棚上飾有“卍”,副駕駛的門上貼有希特勒貼紙。一家超市拒絕爲他們的孩子製作寫有“阿道夫·希特勒生日快樂”的蛋糕而使他們成爲新聞人物。這個故事也引起一系列憤怒的網上討論。法醫心理學家N.G.·貝里爾說給一個男孩起名希特勒被認爲是虐待兒童。

9 year old who was granted permission to change her given name, Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii

9.9歲的小女孩得到准許改掉她原來的名字“來自夏威夷跳呼拉舞的塔魯拉”

名字可不能隨便起!悲催名字的悲催故事(下) 第4張

In 2008, a 9-year-old girl in New Zealand was made a ward of the court so that she could change her name from “Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii.” Seriously. Maybe her parents were drunk or high when they came up with the name, but really, is that an excuse for forcing your child to go through life with that name?

2008年,一個新西蘭的9歲小女孩在法院的監護下更改名字,她原來的名字是“來自夏威夷跳呼拉舞的塔魯拉”。說真的,她父母能想出這種名字也真是醉了。但是話又說回來,就算喝高了,讓孩子用這種名字度過一生,這樣真的好嗎?

A judge ruled that the nine-year-old girl, who is the subject of a custody fight, should be placed in the guardianship of the court until she was renamed. A lawyer acting for the girl claimed she was so embarrassed by her name that she had kept it from her friends, insisting she should be known as "K" instead. She also feared that if it became public she would be mocked and lawyer claimed the girl fully understood the absurdity of her name, unlike her parents who had not considered the implications when they named her.

法官裁定這名9歲女孩改名之前將由法院監護,而小女孩現在是一場監護權爭奪戰的主體。一名律師替小女孩辯護說:這個名字使她十分尷尬,她一直向朋友們隱瞞這個名字,並堅持讓朋友們以k來稱呼她。她擔心如果這個名字公之於衆,她將會被嘲笑。律師聲稱這個女孩完全理解她名字的荒誕,不像她父母,起名字的時候完全沒有考慮影響。

10.10-year-old Icelandic girl who was denied a passport because her name is "Harriet"

10.10歲的冰島小女孩因爲名叫哈麗特不能申領護照

名字可不能隨便起!悲催名字的悲催故事(下) 第5張

If you want to name your baby girl Harriet, don't live in Iceland. The country recently denied 10-year-old Harriet Cardew's passport renewal request because her name doesn't comply with Icelandic baby naming laws. Her name doesn't appear on the approved list of 1,853 female and 1,712 boy names.

你要是想給你家小女孩起名叫哈麗特,你可千萬別住在冰島。冰島最近拒絕了一個10歲小女孩哈麗特·卡迪尤的護照更新申請,因爲她的名字不符合冰島的新生兒命名法。她的名字沒有出現在允許使用的1543個女性名字和1712個男性名字的名單當中。

Icelandic laws state that unless both parents are foreign, they must submit their name choice to the National Registry for approval within six months of birth. The name must fulfill requirements that include "Icelandic grammatical endings," "linguistic structure of Iceland" and "Icelandic orthography." "That's the problem with Harriet," Harriet's father, Tristan Cardew, explained. "It can't be conjugated in Icelandic."Lilja and Belinda, two of the couple's four children, have their names on their passports because they were born in France. However, Harriet and her brother Duncan, 12, were born in Iceland, but did not have their names approved by the committee. They live in Reykjavik, Iceland, and up until this point, have been going by "Girl" and "Boy" on their passports. But upon getting Harriet's passport request, the government went a step further and denied her an updated passport completely, which could put her family's upcoming trip to France on Cardews could bypass the name block by changing Harriet's middle name to an Icelandic one, but the family thinks it's too late. Instead, they applied for an emergency passport from the British Embassy where dad Tristan is from. He finds the name approval process absurd. "The whole situation is really rather silly," he said.

冰島的法律規定,除非父母雙方都是外國人,否則他們必須在嬰兒出生6個月內向國家註冊批准中心提交他們的名字選擇結果。名稱必須滿足的要求包括“冰島語法的結尾”“冰島語言結構”和“冰島正字法”“這就是哈麗特這個名字的問題,”哈麗特的父親,特里斯坦·卡迪尤解釋說,“它不符合冰島規定。”里爾加和貝琳達,這對夫婦的4個孩子之中的2個,可以擁有寫有姓名的護照,因爲他們在法國出生。然而,哈麗特和她的哥哥鄧肯,12歲,住在冰島的,但他們的名字沒有被委員會批准。他們居住在冰島的雷克雅未克,直到這之前,他們的護照上一直寫的是“女孩”和“男孩”。但是,在收到哈麗特的護照申請時,政府更進了一步,完全否決了她的護照更新,這迫使她家即將到來的法國旅行拖延。現在卡迪尤一家可以通過更改哈麗特的中間名來繞過名字關,但是大家都覺得已經太晚了。他們選擇爸爸特里斯坦的祖籍英國申請緊急護照。他發現整個名字審批過程十分荒謬!“這一切簡直太扯了。”他說。
