Help[Opinions] Corona
I didn't realise that this was a real name before the pandemic. It as a 37% rating on BtN and out of curiosity, I looked at the Wayback Machine for a capture in late 2018 and it was at 72% before the pandemic. From this, I can see it was pretty well liked with users thinking it was Youthful and Natural. After, however, it is seen as Devious and Rough.
Out of a second curiosity, I am now asking if anybody knew of this name before the outbreak and, if so, what you though of it? (in the past, to specify, before the outbreak). Did you ever rate the name? Do you remember what you chose for it?
If you like(d) it, would it have been a baby name contender (or a middle name option)?
As for me, I only think of the beer. Thought it was a beer brand and it still looks like a beer brand... but also the name of a virus now, so poor Corona has it pretty bad. Not sure I'd have liked it anyway, the "coro-" prefix isn't a sound I enjoy.
If I were rating it without the context of the pandemic, I'd have chosen Natural, Rough and Strong, mostly because of the beer.
The virus was named after the fact that they think the spikes on the outside of the virus looks like a crown and since "corona" means "crown", they named it Corona. I am curious to see crowns with a full 360 degree array of spikes - or perhaps I don't have the same imagination the scientists had.
I still think they were reaching with that description though, but then again, I also don't think any of the constellations look like their supposed representation, either.
