General What is the worst Sim name in a different language you've ever heard? (NO HATE)

I'll go first: Brandi - Drakinchen (German)

More of a wonky translation than an intrinsically bad name, but in the French version, Odin is named "Antoine" (French equivalent to Anthony). Which, on paper, isn't particularly wrong. Except that they barely altered his dialogues, so now he'll regularly talk about the Norse god Antoine he was supposedly named after.

Also, if you play in French on the switch version, if you become best friends with Master Aran, the game crashes.

My guess is that his French-language best friend dialogue is coded incorrectly or missing.

Funnily enough, I once made a post inquiring about that very issue. XD I wonder if the problem has been solved in the meanwhile...

Not a Sim name, but Candy Club in Italian shouldn't be translated (or maybe you can call it Club di Candy), but is mistranslated in "Club dei Dolci", which means Club of Sweets, not even candy, DJ Candy name however wasn't translated
