HelpRe: Fanny (as full name)
in reply to a message by Felie
It doesn't work in the US, and I'm assuming not in the UK, either. Although the slang term "fanny" doesn't have the same meaning in the two countries, it denotes a nether region in both.
I had a friend in middle school named Fanny. She had moved to the US from Uruguay, where I presume Fanny is fine. She found it necessary, after a few years, to start going by her middle name, Renee.
I can't really put myself in a time, though I know such a time existed, in which the word "fanny" does not mean "rear end", so that colors my perception of the name to the point that I can't judge it on its own merits.
