Unintentionally funny NPC names

So this is the second time I've stumble across an NPC with the name "Lort", and I find this absolutely hilarious. This is because in my native language (Danish) Lort is the "bad" word for Poo (you know, Sh*t) :tongue:

Has anyone else encountered similar funny coincidences? Feel free to add screenshots ^^

    It's not terribly funny as such, but I always smile a little at "Bogdan the Nightflame" because Bogdan is a really common Romanian name. Now when I hear it IRL I cannot help but envision a massive fire-breathing Daedric titan. :grimace:

    LOL

    In Coldharbour you can find a female called Hostia (In spanish* means a big slap in a rude language but have a lot of uses)

    In Cyrodiil you can find a female called Ausonia (A spanish* trademark of female intimate hygiene)

    You would think they would Google all NPC names before putting them in the game.

    These are usually intentional in Scrolls games. Homage and Easter Eggs to pop culture and other ridiculous stuff is half the fun of the series! Well maybe not half the fun, but fun nonetheless.

    "Makes-Many-Soups" is a Seinfeld reference/easter egg :) When I talked to him the first time, I thought, this dialogue sounds familiar, and indeed it was^^
