it's french for eggplant. I've always loved the sound of it and in America it's sometimes used for a deep purple color. Do you think it's usable? At first I thought absolutley not but then I thought...I like eggplants, the only thing unpleasant about them is their name. I love names of other foods like Plum, Pear, Peach, or Apple because I like the sounds. I think they are perfectly acceptable names, so why wouldn't a french person think Aubergine was an acceptable name? Anyway that was my reasoning to myself but I just don't know. WDYT?
BTW it's pronounced "Oh-ber-zheen"
