WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

I can't introduce myself to anyone in Ethiopia or anyone who speaks Amharic. Apparently the word for "buttocks" in Amharic is Kate. I thought maybe that it wouldn't sound exactly like my name, but we got an audio file with a whole bunch of words on it today, and they clearly say buttocks=Kate. Mom, I think you should have foreseen this. Can you imagine my poor children when the people at the care center tell them that their new mother is named Buttocks Schutz? I've got to go... I have to look up all of the names we like in all of the other languages in the world and make sure they don't have any inappropriate meanings.
