'Larry Ellison Had To Change The Name Of One Of His Yachts After Finding Out It Spelled 'I'm A Nazi' Backward'

"Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison once had to change the name of one of his yachts because it spelled 'I'm a Nazi' backward...He has owned a series of increasingly large superyachts, including a 191-foot boat he named the Izanami, after a Shinto deity, until it was pointed out that the name spelled 'I'm a Nazi' backward."
