This reminds me of that movie with Robbie Coltrane (sp? -- the guy who plays Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies) and that guy from the Monty Python group -- I think the movie was called Nuns on the Run -- a pretty good flick, actually.
Anyway, the premise is that the two guys need to hide out from some mobsters and hide in a convent (unbeknownst to the nuns in the convent). Robbie Coltrane is Catholic, so comes up with some names for them -- and gives the other guy the name "Sister Euphemia of the Four Wounds". When "Sister Euphemia" looks on in horror at the name "she" is given, as "she" is being introduced to the Head Nun (that's not what it's called, is it?), he tries to cover up the shock by saying "Four Wounds for short...."
That, and I do know a Ludmilla -- but have never heard those other names.
I do have a friend with two boys: one called Orhan and the other Lochlan. A bit out of the ordinary, I suppose.
