          These aren’t actually German words. It’s just an anglicism for a proper noun. So yes, it does rhyme in German, but only because it’s pronounced the English way.

        Despite what happens in movies, defibrillators are used to stop arrhythmia and don’t jump start hearts back up. Arhythmia is when the timing/pace is out of sync, which is also known as timing retardation. Although we usually use that term for engines, it’s essentially the exact same thing.

    This is actually a common pattern in urdu, though not for names.

    Like “chai” means tea so :

    • “chai shai” = tea and related stuff
    • “khana wana” = food and related stuff
    • “paisay waisay” = money and related stuff

    etc.

    What I took away from this is that we urgently need to find the person in question and let them name everything. Alternatively the person who came up with the names in the post.
