speaking of ridiculous sounding names… well this one is spelled ridiculously, but is pronounced differently.

(CNN) — Father Alberto Cutie, an internationally known Catholic priest who admitted having a romantic affair and breaking his vow of celibacy, is joining the Episcopal Church to be with the woman he loves, he said Thursday.
Father Alberto Cutie will deliver a sermon Sunday at a Florida Episcopal Church.

Father Alberto Cutie will deliver a sermon Sunday at a Florida Episcopal Church.

“I will always love the Catholic Church and all its members,” he said at a news conference. “But I want to start today by going into a new family.

“Here before this community where I have chosen to serve and where I live, I am going to continue to proclaim the word of God and my love for God,” Cutie said.

Cutie (pronounced koo-tee-AY) was received into the Episcopal Church earlier Thursday at Trinity Episcopal Cathedral in Miami, Florida. He will pursue the priesthood in the Episcopalian faith, the Episcopal Diocese of Southeast Florida said in a written statement.

I’ve always been curious as to what sort of names in English would sound ridiculous.

Visiting a native Peruvian tribe, we give our introductions: “Hi, my name is Robert–” (the teenagers snicker in the background)

My Dad used to tell a joke about a man whose name was Wan Hung Lo…I’ll let you fill in the rest.

The whole issue of names that mean something different in another language is a rich vein to be mined. In Germany there’s a musician named Thomas Assman. Sounds funny to us, but who knows, if he toured America it might even be a positive…

@BDK: They were probably jealous of what you had and didn’t want to give you a bigger advantage.

@Annie: I don’t even want to know how the mechanics behind that would work.

@Sworn Enemy: Nope, their minds are both in the gutter. To be honest, I didn’t even think of that meaning.

I had the “I’m hung” sandwich.

It didn’t work.
