    So, does your language have a male name that's an euphemism for "penis"?

    Finnish has Jorma. English has Dick (D-i-c-k in case the forum is being politically corrupted). German, I hear, has Willi, although I'm not sure of that at all. Are there any other languages with names like that?

    (as Winston said, these words are not really very "polite"... so I guess they actually are dysphemisms)

      Don't forget about Johnson in English too. Although...do people actually use that or is it just on the big lebowski?

        There was a big line of "Johnson" T-shirts in the 90's.

                Although I'm not too sure about the euphemism part. I think most people would say that 'penis' is actually a nicer term than 'Børge'...

                    Hey! Me and my friends sometimes refer to it as Börje, seems we are not the only ones

                        No, johnson is old. Though it is arguably also a last name. We use Peter here in the U.S. as well.
