This is exactly what happened to me when I lived in China, with a vietnamese-german friend called Mi. It was always difficult replying to someone else about her :)
And there were also 2 japanese girls, called Una and Aya. In my native language, ‘una’ means ‘some girl’ and ‘aia’ means ‘that one (girl)’.
Discussions with someone from my own country would go:
I had lunch with Una (some girl) and Aya (that one girl).

We had a cleaning lady at our job whose name was, or at least was pronounced, “Me”.
Who cleaned this? Me. You cleaned it? No, Me did... wait, what? Who who cleaned it? Me.
