NAMEsis !!!
One of the funniest things I've noticed is when parents lovingly name their child but it turns out to be a funny name because of the pronunciation or spelling.

Here are a few funny ones I've heard
The first set belongs to a category that are beautiful Indian names but when spelt in English and read by an American can spawn a few laughter tornadoes.

1) Shitij - SHIT - IJ
2) Analjit - ANAL -Jit
3) Anusha - ANUS -Ha
4) Dikshit - DIK - SHIT ?????

Mallus and their naming conventions
Mallus must be the most notorious when it comes to naming their kids. There is a classic post by Sidin explaining this. Mallu Christians lead the pack with ridiculous names which are formed by a simple formula.
1 Syllable - 1 Vowel - 1 Syllable - 1 Vowel
For eg, Jijo, Sini, Lijo, Joji, Suni etc..

But some mallus break the above rule and name their kids fashionably..Like

1) Titty
2) Tiny
3) Boobly

These are a few funny ones I've heard from friends who have relatives by these names. I feel bad for those kids when they grow up and have to face jokes !!

Imagine if a boy is named Tiny.... What are his chances of getting a date or marriage proposal?
Tiny meets a girl and the conversation goes
Tiny : Hi..I am Tiny
Girl: Why are you telling me ? Why don't you visit a doctor !!!

And the girl Boobly !!! Oh my god. Don't have to write..

Lastly even my name was murdered by an insurance agent once.He asked me how to pronounce my name and I said "Sandesh Aravind" and he said
As in SAND - ASH - AIR - WIND !!!
