[Opinions] Re: Plum, Peach and Apricot
in reply to a message by Jude
As a child I got an English children's book from my aunt when she was in London. It was the classic Each Peach Pear Plum. I didn't understand English at that time, but I liked the pictures.Plum could work as a middle name. It has a nice sound.
Peach, isn't that used in English slang? Like "being peached" mening to get drunk?
Apricot - no, it doesn't work. I prefer the Japanese variants:
Umeko - plum child
Momoko - peach child
Anzuko - apricot child
I only speak a tiny smattering of Japanese, but I think the names have deeper meanings in Japan, such as the apricot being a symbol of timid love.Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
