Help[Opinions] Yeah, Leopold did something awful
in reply to a message by Bear
Believe me, I'm totally for honoring historical figures in names (being the history-obsessed girl I am), but King Leopold or Belgium killed millions upon imperialism of the Congo. That's why I feel I can't use it. I guess it'll have to go alongside Antoinette with names I love but can't use. =[

But...
there were lots of Leopolds!
And Marie Antoinette's real name was Maria Antonia! It was only when she moved to France that they changed the most common transcription of her name! Are you going to say you can't use any female form of Anthony?
Lots of Leopolds, going back hundreds and hundreds of years! Even before the Renaissance they went back hundreds and hundreds of years! Will you let one spoil everything?
