It had been a term of endearment which had cemented links with her Greek heritage and first adorned her cars more than five years ago following a loving gift from her husband.

But the nickname Kiki, given to lawyer Kristen Perry before she could even walk, has now put her in hot water with the Roads and Traffic Authority because her number plate also translates into a term for female genitals in the Filipino language of Tagalog.

''I rang my father last night and said: 'Do you know you have been calling me vagina all my life?','' she said.

Gus: forget other lingos sensitivities ... For example "con" in French also means vagina in a derogatory manner... So what? Imagine that the term "boutique" (so widely used) could have some child pornography overtone... In some (many) part of France, "boutique" means the male dick of small kids, up to about the age of 12... So what? We have to push off any other language sensitivities...

There is a language on earth where the term "politician" may mean "dirt-bag"... and this could be English...
