Help[Opinions] Re: Aubergine
in reply to a message by lilah
I don't think it's too bad, though I associate it with the food before the colour. For that reason, I might confine it to a middle name--because I can't stand the taste of eggplant!
That said, the root of the word means "a kind of peach," according to the Oxford English Dictionary, so I must respectfully disagree with Julia's statement that Aubergine is unacceptable because Eggplant is. "Eggplant" might be the English equivalent to "Aubergine," but that's not what the name means at all.
