Good day!
In the recent book by Jonathan Maberry "Assassin's Code" (a good book btw), the main protagonists makes fun of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad turning his last name into "Armanihandjob".
***“That is a disingenuous remark, Captain. I risked much coming here. My president and the Rahbare Mo’azzame Enghelab do not know that I am here.”
“And you don’t entirely trust Ahmadinejad and the Supreme Leader? Wouldn’t they have the same fears as you? I doubt they want to reach paradise atop a mushroom cloud.”
Actually, I deliberately mispronounced his name as Armanihandjob, but Rasouli did not so much as crack a smile."***
I'm not translating the book. I just caught myself wondering how I would render it in Russian. My variant is "Армадиневзад". What do you think about this one?
Any other good options out there?
TIA

Вариант совершенно детский, но и Armanihandjob не взрослей.
По буквам близко к Ахмадинежад, количество слогов то же.

: Совершенно не годится - слишком грубо, не передает смысла и и не соответствует имитации имени на исходном языке

Армастурбадин
handjob - мастурбация
Имя не полностью имитирует оригинал, но передаёт смысл...и звучит по-восточному...аладдин, насреддин, шайтан-арба и т.д.
