We learn english as a second language here, and the children get to pick their own names (or their teachers pick for them) during their first secondary year.

I have seen “Hymen”, “Lake”, “Peninsula”, “Banana” and “Grape”. But nothing tops “Harem”. One wonders how they came up with those. Sticking a pin randomly into the dictionary seems to help.

They would be better off with conventional names like “John” or “Mary” etc.
