Today's O_o name:

Swastika.

Stopped me dead in my tracks.

Please tell me that there is a language in which this name is not offensive. At that this person speaks said language?

There's just no good explanation for that one.

OH my gosh.

I know a swastica was actually a sign for peace, but come on, the connotations from the mauled version of the swastica symbol REALLY makes this name a no-no.

That poor, poor person. (By the way, was it a guy or a lady?)

Yikes. I'm not sure if i think it's worse on a girl or a boy. That does make me go 'awww' too though, i'm not sure why.

I'm fairly sure it's an Indian name... I went to high school with an Indian girl named Swastika. She was quite a bit younger than me so I didn't know her well, but she was in the same grade as my boyfriend and he said that no one ever gave her a hard time about it that he'd seen. She did very well in school, too, apparently - the first time I saw her name was because she had won an award for something or other.

Wow. A little offtopic, but I went to school with a Hispanic boy named Hitler. (I wish I was making it up, but, nope.)
