[Opinions] Re: Naphtali/Naphtahalia
in reply to a message by Cora
It makes me think of Naphthalin (German spelling of naphthalene), a toxic / carcinogen substance, so I would never use it.
However, not everyone majors in chemistry, so associations aside: I like the sound of both Naphtali and Naphtahalia. I prefer Naphtali though because Naphtahalia is a bit confusing and might seem pretentious.

Same for me (it's spelled naftalin here) and it's a common word not something only a chemist would know.
But, I like it for a pet.
