Help[Opinions] Deliverance and Peaches also come to mind (m)
in reply to a message by Siri
Granted, I don't remember that you actually liked the name Peaches, but you were totally amazed to learn just what the slogan "Tasty Peaches" on your T-shirt actually referred to.
More to the point, there was the little exchange about Deliverance as a name. I and MANY other people brought up the very widcespread and strong association with the movie "Deliverance" and specifically with the "Squeal, Piggy, squeal!" and you just seemed to put your hands over your ears and go la-la-la I can't hear you.
The words you post as "names" seem often to be just random words you happen to like the sound of. All right. That's fine. We all have words we love the sound of. But just because a word sounds nice does NOT mean it makes a good name. Influenza, amenorrhea, amanita, and Mascara are all beautiful sounding words, but that doesn't change the fact that they have bad connotations and do not belong on people. Influenza literally just means "influence" and referred originally to the influence of the moon, but it was borrowed as the name for a disease.
