Today I have a meeting with a fellow whose surname is "Molestina." Apparently an Ecuadorian name, hopefully with not as unfortunate a connotation in Spanish as in English.

Not a native speaker, but 'molestar' in Spanish just means 'to bother', it doesn't have the specific connotation of sexual assault it does in English nowadays.

That said, it's still not good to molestar someone, so it does seem like an odd choice for a name

e: misread, it's his surname. Not much you can do about that.

Not strange name for a scandinavian, and Hogholt is likely an americanisation/internationallization of Högholt.

Yeah but Scandinavia thinks Harry Hole is a normal name.

Not interesting, cool, or weird, sorry, but:

I was just in a Teams meeting (:barf:) with someone whose name prompted me to form this opinion: it should be illegal to name your daughter Anu if your surname starts with an S.

Not name related, but I was enchanted when an OCR error in an ebook I was reading caused the glorious sentence: "She threw her anus around his neck."

This will only be funny to Finns and other Finnish people, but the husband of the speaker of the European Parliament is named Ukko Metsola.
