Help[Opinions] Re: Sharki
in reply to a message by Bex
I'm thinking Chilli is a nn and not a given name.
I'm also thinking the spellings of Sharki and Pheloni point to them not being English language names and not related except by unfortunate coincidence to actual sharks or felonies.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Chilli pops up semi regularly here. I know 3.. and not nicknames, full names.
Both Sharki and Pheloni are blonde hair, blue eyes and have very English surnames, so I don't think they are cultural names.

Do you think Pheloni is based on felony on purpose?

I think Sharki's probably related to (roughly) "east" in Arabic, like Sharkia / Sharqia / Sharqiyya. Pretty sure those come up in religious texts or something in relation to places and wind/storms.
According to Google translate, pheloni means life in Southern Sotho, but then also phuloni seems to mean something like bouquet/garden/flowers in Assamese, which has a different script.
