Help[Opinions] The fact that it's the name of a place isn't what bothers me about it.
in reply to a message by may1787
The fact that it's a place with a not-particularly-cheeful association makes me give it a downgrade--Jesus got arrested there, after all. That's, like, the beginning of all his miserable death-y stuff. It's not a happy place.
I wouldn't want to be named for it. There aren't any good nicknames, there's the possibility of being called "Semen" (it's very nearly in the name itself--can't you hear "Get semen on me!" as a middle school taunt?), the name is unwieldy and long with an ambiguous pronunciation, and dude. They arrested Jesus in that garden. I mean, come on. ;)

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
