Help[Opinions] Re: People shouldn't use Fox, either, though. +
in reply to a message by Sabrina Fair
I don't see your point, sorry, but I agree completely with Isla. If you're going off sound while ignoring meaning beyond a random word/animal name, then Cock and Pussy ought to be fine as names. Cock could be the hip new alternative to the uberpopular Jack, and if Kitty can be a NN for Katherine, Pussy can be a NN for Patrice or Priscilla. Sorry, but I don't buy it. Those aren't acceptable for the same reasons Vixen and Fox shouldn't be. Fox only made it into the lexicon because it was a surname.
+ The difference between this and your John, Randy, and Peter defense is that those were well established as names long before they entered our vocabulary as slang. Vixen is not established. It was slang before it "became a name" if you consider it one. The primary associations in my mind lie with their original uses.
