What's in a Name - 2

In the second edition of What's in a Name, Darth Nirius shows you some people and things with sad and embarrassing names, so that you may be warned against naming your children without sufficient care.

1. The Great Indian Bustard
According to wikipedia:
The Great Indian Bustard (Ardeotis nigriceps) or Indian Bustard also known as Maldhok (माळ्ढोक)is a bustard found in India and eastern length of Pakistan. It is threatened by loss of its habitat, large expanses of grassland and low scrub.

According to anyone else, it's either the first reason they ever found to snigger in the classroom back in primary school, or a likely nomenclature for a man looking like this:


2. Rapeseed
There are so many possible names for seeds. This particular seed even had/has another name - canola. It could have been left at that. But no - some mastermind had a bright idea one day. He thought: "What is the most critical thing to be done in the field of botany? How can I make my name live for ever? Clearly, there is only one way - I must rape a name or rather, name a rape."
And the rapeseed was born in pain and violence.


3. Finally, there is this. It's probably a good thing it's in Sweden and not in India.
