   Thank goodness, she has a real name!   
      
   I got a little concerned when I saw the answers coming in and thought   
   "With that name, she better not come over here". That name certainly   
   would raise giggles and embarrasment. To wit, the Swedish verb "pippa"   
   translates to a four-letter word in English.
