Get the lowdown on your exotic baby name with a Today Translations Name Translation Audit

Celebrities love exotic baby names. That's cool. Nobody's going to have much of an issue with Apple, the daughter of Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin or Geri Halliwell's Bluebell Madonna.

But more offbeat names can pose problems. How about the Rooneys' Kai? Kai means 'pier' in Estonian, 'probably' in Finnish, 'ocean' in Hawaiian and Japanese, 'willow tree' in the native American language of Navajo, and 'stop it' in Yoruba.

And Suri, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter, means 'pickpocket' in Japanese, 'turned sour' in French and 'horse mackerels' in Italian.

Name changes later in life can be embarrassing, expensive and riddled with hassle. That's why we offer a Name Translation Audit designed to help you consider the multilingual implications of giving your baby an unusual name.

For just £1,000, our brilliant team of 2600 linguists will check the meaning of baby names in 100 languages. Better safe than Suri.
