I have a colleague at work (well he is in the US but works for my company) called Rhoomy Rhagina.

I went on a course in the USA and the instructor introduced himself as 'Randy Love'. All the Brits fell about laughing and I had to explain to him that in his language that was like being called 'Horny Love'. On day 2 his badge said 'Randall Love'.

If you're a cricket fan perhaps you'll know of an Australian satirist called the 12th Man? For ever taking the micky out of, in no particular order, Indian, Pakistani & Sri Lankan names. The players in question all loved it. Being "sledged" was a badge of honour.
