Semen has the opposite problem of Elle. The English translation isn't good for a name.

Perhaps the website could add dictionary definitions of the names in each language to help avoid these issues

It doesn't give definitions, but it kinda already does that by showing you it's a word in the other language (rather than just a name), so you know you'd better look it up before use.
