[Opinions] Re: Edelweiss
in reply to a message by Felie
i wish i could love this name - a flower, and a hardy one at that; begins with Ed-; has a unique and lovely sound; etc...but it's been ruined for me, since learning that the edelweiss flower has been used as a symbol by the Nazis. part because of the meaning, "noble white". this could be brushed off by some, but afaik it was a well known symbol. and besides that, i can't shake it off, because i learned this when someone in my family tried giving me an edelweiss patch..specifically because it was a symbol of the "German Army", as he described it.--------https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/180731/115070 my pnl
