User blog:Rexory/My weird real name

You know my name is REX, ok?

It means "king" in Latin, Goth, and Persian. But, it sound bad in Arabic. Ok, Arabs dont have "e" and "x" in their alphabet. But, some Arabs often spell "i" like "e". So, here's the illustration:

Me: Hello, my name is Rex."

Arabic man: "What!!! Your name is Riks? Can I change your name?"

Me: "Sir, you cant change my name ithout my dad permission."

Arabic man: "But it has a bad meaning."

Me: "It actually mean "king" or "leader" in Latin."

Arabic: "Riks mean dry camel poo here. Lemme change your name."

Me: X(

Hey, if your name is Rex and you introduce yourself to modern Arabs you will be fine. But, if you intorduce yourself to Bedouin Arabs (Arabs who lived in desert, usually old-fashion) they might ask you to change your name coz it sound like "riks".
