Translations of McDreamy

International Mefites who watch Grey's Anatomy! I'm looking for examples of how "McDreamy" is translated into other languages.
Oh, and for completeness' sake, McSteamy becomes "Dr Glamour."

according to Hungarian gossip sites:
McDreamy = McCsábító (Mc-Tempting, Mc-Alluring)
McSteamy = McKábító (Mc-Stupefying, in the sense of narcotics)
The "Mc" suffix sounds funny in Hungarian. The french versions seem much more clever.

In Japanese, McDreamy is "irootoko-sensei" (Dr. Sexy man) and McSteamy is "feromon otoko-sensei" (Dr. Pheromone.)

According to Wikipedia, the Italian McDreamy is, quite wonderfully, "Dottor Stranamore" (Dr. Strangelove). In Spanish he's just Dr. Macizo (lit. "solid," but slang for sexy).

I don't watch the show, but there are at least 3 Spanish translations. Aside from "Dr. Macizo", there is "Doctor apuesto" (handsome doctor) and "Doctor soñado" (dream doctor).
