Fanny is used in the U.K, Australia and N.Z as a slang for pussy. In Scandinavia, Fanny (also spelt Fanni/Fannie) is a very common girls name. But it's not pronounced like fanny (pussy), it's pronounced more like funny or fuh-nay. You could only imagine how tough it would be for a girl named Fanni to come to Australia.
Emily: hey, what's your name? Fanny: it's Fanny Emily: oh my god, is it seriously Fanny?! Fanny: yeah, but I'm from Sweden, where it's a very usual name. And it's pronounced more like funny. Emily: oh okay I get it.
