I think what he's getting at is that while it might be a fine name in 
_Turkish_, in _English_ it sounds a bit funny.  Kind of like how the "Wii" 
gets made fun of because it's a word kids use to talk about going to the 
bathroom.

I've never heard of a "dill" being a stupid person, though.  Maybe that's a 
British thing.  I kind of like dill, it sounds fresh and herby ;)
