12 popular baby names with rude meanings outside UK, including Todd and Chloe
ok.co.ukChoosing a name for your child can be a very difficult task. Just ask Kylie Jenner, who recently abandoned her original name of Wolf after a few weeks.
While choosing a moniker that suits them is one challenge, there is another barrier according to experts at language-learning platform Babbel. "When tasked with naming a child, it's good to be aware of what meanings and connotations these names take when translated into different languages," they explained to The Sun. "This can tell you more about where the name is from culturally and what it means in the context of this culture. "Additionally, while this can often result in funny coincidences, occasionally the results can be a little awkward, so it's good to do your research beforehand." Todd While it means fox in Middle English, in German 'tod' means death.
Cara This sounds similar to the Arabic word ‘khara’. Unfortunately, that word means s**t. Chloe Chloe can often be Chlo for short. "Klo" in German is slang for "toilet." Mark In Latin it means warlike, whereas in Norwegian it means worm.
