Khiow Khoo (Hunchback)
Woti (Sexual intercourse)
no animals, insects, fruit, vegetables, numbers (007) or colours as names
no royal or honorary titles or Japanese cars as names |
| | Cantonese: Chow Tow (Smelly head)
Sor Chai (Insane) |
| | Malaysia's Tamil Community: Karrupusamy (Black god) |
| | Germany: Hitler, Stalin, Osama bin Laden
Invented and androgynous names |
