* The so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria ''loathes'' being called "Daesh" which is the name they are known for throughout the Islamic world and threatens to flog or cut out the tongues of anyone using it. "Daesh" is an acronym for their organization's full name in Arabic (ad-Dawlah al-Islāmiyah fī 'l-ʿIrāq wa-sh-Shām), but they find it offensive for two reasons: 1) the word sounds close to "trampling" or "discord sowers", both of which had negative connotations and 2) the word has no specific meaning on its own, which undermines their position as a caliphate since they stand for nothing. Westerners (both governmental entities and journalistic media) have also adopted the term, though they do refer to them by the ISIS acronym in their respective languages because it's more convenient.
* [[UsefulNotes/CheGuevara Ernesto Guevara's]] nickname of "Che" is actually rather embarrassing when you know the meaning. It’s a meaningless filler word in Argentina similar to “um.” However this was completely unknown to the Cubans who gave it to him as a nickname because he said it a lot. “El Che” to someone of Guevara’s region of Argentina sounds like “The Umm.” Guevara didn’t expressed any dislike of the name while in Cuba, but did confess to Khrushchev that he would be rather embarrassed to return home with it.

However, it should be noted that the meaning of the term ''unready'' has evolved in the English language; at the time it was applied, it simply meant ''poorly-advised,'' not ''unprepared.'' Nonetheless, it doubles as a Main/PunnyName and Main/IronicNickname because ''Aethelred'' itself literally means ''well-advised.''
** Louis V, the last monarch of the [[UsefulNotes/{{Charlemagne}} Carolingian]] Dynasty, was known as "Louis the Do-Nothing." He was crowned while his father was still alive in 979, but failed to retake Aquitaine and died heirless at age 20.
** King William I of Sicily was known as "William the Bad," but not for reasons entirely of his own doing. Early in his reign, William tolerated other religions and promoted literature and science, and he ruled his kingdom efficiently. But in order to do that, he had to centralise authority under the crown by suppressing the powerful barons of Sicily, thus angering them. They turned against him and undermined his rule as Sicily lost its African territories one by one, and ultimately popular rebellions hamstrung William's government.
