Need I even elaborate on the jokes this kid would get?

Oh dear, I can't believe that this is actually a name. I'm aware that it is a form of Aurelius, but the connotations today! This poor boy would probably kill himself in shame if he was in the United States; just think of the obscene nicknames that he'd get.
I wonder if this name is used any longer. The word "Oral" is definitely used in more languages than English, since it's originally Greek (?), I think. Can't imagine it's still used in Switzerland, where most people speak German, French or Italian.
Granville Oral Roberts (January 24, 1918 – December 15, 2009) was an American Pentecostal televangelist and a Christian charismatic. He was the founder of Oral Roberts Evangelistic Association and Oral Roberts University.
