ponerle un pollo en el nombre de mi

Question

Im sorry if that sounds muy estrange, but i am wanting to say "Don't forget to name a chicken after me." These inside jokes, they get a little silly sometimes. But it's great when they can be expressed in 2 languages. Sometimes they are funnier in one language than they are in another. Thanks for your help! Leah

Answer 1

"No olvides ponerle mi nombre a un pollo" or "no olvides nombrar a un pollo por mi"

Answer 2

Yes, it does look strange. I like it. My best friend from high school (we were both Americans living in Caracas) loves bilingual puns, and is extremely good at them, though most of them are very off-color in both languages. He lived in Caracas for most of his childhood, and is totally fluent in both languages. It's tough to make word play work in both languages at the same time.
