Do non-English speaking countries have funny names?

One of the most famous "clean" funny names in the US is Ima Hogg. I'm sure everybody can come up with others (some being non-English origin names that have unfortunate connotations in the American cultural scheme--the surname Putz is somewhat common, for instance).

Just wondering if our Spanish/German/Japanese/etc members ever come across a name that makes them snigger? Are those names of foreign derivation, or do natives ever make unfortunate choices when naming their children?
