Did you read the play?
We had to read it for AP Literature & Comp, there are tons of sexual motifs and dirty jokes. Enough if anyone ever met the girl who knew the play, they would probably give her hell about it or at least feel terribly sorry for it. It wasn't a serious play really at all with all of this deep feminist meaning, it was a comedy of dirty jokes. It's just not something you should name a daughter.

I was just wondering if you read it because we had it for required reading. I honestly have no idea about your age so you could be 27 have had it years ago.

Yeah...I may look or sound like I'm 27 or older, but I'm only a teenager that has mishappened to look a lot older than I really am.

it's not completely dignified.
In the play, IIRC, it's supposed to be kinda funny; she's the butt of a joke in a way. The women end up giving up first because they want sex themselves, or something like that.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong =\
It's not totally anti-feminist but it's not something I'd want to be named... it just relates too much to sexuality.
