Name Translation Audit

What We Did

Katie Holmes + bab

Got Today Translations to launch a new service – a “Baby-Name Translation Audit”, to help celebrities and others check the meaning of prospective baby names in other languages in order to avoid causing their offspring unintended future embarrassment.

The company announced that it would charge £1,000 for a "name translation audit", which involved checking the meaning of a prospective baby name in 100 languages. 

“Suri [Cruise] means 'pickpocket' in Japanese, 'turned sour' in French and 'horse mackerels' in Italian.”
