Ok GAF, I need an answer. My wife and I are expecting our first child early next year and have started debating names. One name we both really like is "Benjamin" -- simple, non-offensive, and classic.
Our last name, though, is "Lada" (pronounced like Wada, or phonetically like lotta). After both getting excited about agreeing on a name fairly quickly, we realized that the nickname "Ben", when combined with "Lada", sounds eerily similar to Bin Laden.
I initially thought we were just being paranoid, but now I don't know.
Is this one of those situations where "if you have to ask..."?
What say you!
