Hi! Yes, you are right! Names can be very confusing in different cultures. My family had some trouble few years ago. We have a dog. His name is Han. But unfortunately, we don’t know that it’s a very popular name in Azerbaijan, maybe in Turkey as well.
And as you may guess we have a neighbor named the same way!!! In the village! Russian village there is a dog and a man, named Han.
We knew that when our dog was two years old and it was too late to change his name. And it happend while we were looking for our Han and were calling him. But some woman came to my father and asked him: “Do you know my husband, why are you calling him, he isn’t at home…” It wasn’t funny that moment, but we made friends. Now we try not call the dog loudly, though he is old and a bit deaf.
Take care!
