Help[Opinions] Re: Evening?
in reply to a message by Guest
It's underbaked IMO. "Evening" is approximate, but literal, and evocative of nothing particularly exalted. Dawn is namey because a dawn symbolizes hope and illumination, but Evening has no such abstract goodness to it. "Lady of the evening" comes to mind. Otherwise it's just as you say - using a time of day as a name, sort of meaningless.

Yanginess of naming itself, it seems likely to me.
Wait. Or maybe I'm just soaking in too much yangy culture myself... I can think of a lot of the right kind of associations or symbols for "evening" but none of them are things I think of as name-concepts. OK, Yes, it's the culture.
