Yikes! Then how do we explain its apparent use as a given name or nickname?? Although that slang might be exclusive to Ecuador and not known/used elsewhere. I guess it's possible it's being given as a "plant" name, like all the other plant/herb/flower/tree names. I guess it sounds kind of nice, so I could see why they might use it.

I looked at the Wiki link. A kind of snail? Seriously? Weird.
