There was a Dutch sister whose name was changed to something innocuous because, allegedly her real name sounded something very like "F**Kyou". Do you know who I mean, and is that true? I knew her...I think she was at the farm in 1983. All I know is that her first name had been changed.

We all had virtue names (instead of surnames), but I think it is outrageous that some, like you Rina, were made to have other first names.
