I'm aware that any name could turn up to mean something terrible in another language, but even in English, latrine's very close to Latrina. And if you look at the comments on this website for names such as Bich, Jerk, Dung, it's clear some people are completely oblivious to the basic idea that similar-sounding words may have different meaning in different languages.
