I was puzzled a number of times when I was still learning English.
In German an "Igel" is a hedgehog and in English "eagle" is a bird. When people talked about majestic flying eagles, all I could think of were hedgehogs with wings.
In German, "Klee" is clover. The English name "Claire" is pronounced similarly. It was a little difficult trying to figure out why a girl would be called "Clover".
As someone else above mentioned, in German poison is called "Gift" and in English it is a present.
