Madeinusa is a girl who lives in an isolated village in the mountains of Peru. This strange place is characterized by its religious fervor, and seemingly odd custom: from Good Friday at three o’clock in the afternoon to Easter Sunday, the whole village can do whatever it feels like.

I'm a US expat in Brazil and here people from the shanty towns name their kids Michael Jackson, George Washington, etc...except they're spelled and pronounced according to Brazilian Portuguese rules. Ex, "MJ" is pronounced something like "Mikeuw Jeksó". Another is Wallace which becomes "Uallacy" when pronounced.
There's a Peruvian film called Madeinusa (Mad-in-ewsa) about a girl of the same name, all because her mother found it on the back of a t-shirt and thought it was a good "American" name.
