Yes, it always pays to get the meaning of your name checked when you travel. Thanks for your comments.

There's lot of fun also from English names traveling to other languages. For example, there is an urban legend that Latvian parents named their newborn boy "Steve Gailis" (Gailis being a family name), which means "Stiff Cock". And yes, the word "cock" has the same double meaning in Latvian than in English.
Also there are some Latvian children named Kyle. Which means "naked".
