Saudi Government Rejects Pakistani Ambassador for NSFW Name

By John Farrier in Everything Else on Feb 3, 2010 at 7:19 pm

Parents, be careful what you name your children. A case in point is Pakistan’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia, whose name is, shall we say, boastful of his manhood. The Saudi government found the gentleman’s name unacceptable for public mention, and rejected his credentials. This is his second appointment, as his previous posting to Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates was deemed unacceptable to those governments, and for the same reason.

    That’s nothing! My uncle, the late Sir Horace Phillips, had his credentials rejected by the Saudis for being Jewish. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horace_Phillips_%28diplomat%29

    I can not imagine how it could be the name of this man, but I can imagine the terrible life that has touched the lead siemple having a name so unpronounceable.

    When I once suggested at a parenting site that the names that people were proposing for their babies would doom the children to working as prostitutes, strippers, and fat people at the circus, I was banned.

    Akbar is a common name in South Asia and the Arab world. It does mean biggest but it also means greats. Thus the chant Allahu Akbar which means God is greatest.

    However I imagine that in Urdu the word zib is not slang for penis. So unfortunate name but nothing the parents could have expected.

    I’m sure that some of the sames that people give to children here translate to something funny/unintended in other languages. For instance, Matt in Arabic means DEAD. Or the fact that Porntip is a girls name in Thailand

    You’ll never look at Admiral Ackbar the same way.
