HelpRe: English opinion on German names
in reply to a message by tibby
Well, they go nuts for a reason.
It would be really difficult to be named Fanny or Bent in the UK.
Fanny means "vagina" in the UK and "butt" in the US.

Willy is slang for penis. It's not that bad because not everyone uses it but I wouldn't recommend it either. I think it's used more in the UK as well.
