I remember one time in elementary school there was a story about like...why Chinese people have short names? I don't really remember, but the kid had a long ass name and one part was "peepee". Good times.

"Schuylkill River" is Dutch, meaning hidden river with hidden pronunciation.

How do Chinese parents name their kids? Roll an empty soda can down a metal staircase.
