ihatethemedia.com— This is the kind of story you can?t make up. Akbar Zeb is a Pakistani diplomat with a big problem. In Arabic, his Urdu name sounds more like the name of a porn star.

I feel compelled to comment...In studying Arabic, a fun story is that Shakespeare was that was actually an Arab (the Arab world being known for great poetry and literature); that his name was really Sheikh Zubayir. In Arabic, that "yi" put near the end of the word is often diminutive, like changing "Bob" to "Bobby". So that means Shakespeare was actually "Chief Little Dick".
