Dong

I can’t imagine naming your child after Chairman Mao. That would be like naming your child Adolf. That, and it will absolutely be pronounced like the term for male genitalia in English speaking countries.

Even though it's spelled the same way, it's not pronounced like how Americans pronounce the slang word for male genitalia. So perhaps a boy who is named Dong wouldn't get bullied because of this name.

Pretty to the Chinese ear I'm sure. But to anglophones, especially Americans, this word is slang for a man's private parts! Please don't name your child this if you plan on sending him/her to an American public school!

Loving this name.
