  I have a friend who is constantly teased because of her Indian surname Lingam,when translated,means Penis. Years of teasing has left her with quite a psychological scar. Can she change it easily or is it a lost cause?

  lol, lingam is a stone god thing, shaped like a circumcised penis. They used it to filter the dry part of milk last time.

  Back in my BMT platoon, there were three guys with the surnames Pee, Poo, and Loo.

  And remember the US Congressman Anthony Weiner, who was caught for actually showing his wiener on Twitter?

  What I can say is that while your friend may find her surname embarassing, she is not the only person in the world in such circumstances.

  Anyway, I never knew until today that 'Lingam' was anything more than an Indian name. Which is interesting, because I'm ethnically Indian as well.

  Don't just read the superficial word, you should read the meaning behind the word instead.
