Help[Opinions] Re: Lotus
in reply to a message by Kai
I immediately thought of the novel (and later one, movie) The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck, since Lotus was Wang Lung's wife. I don't care for it. It isn't pretty or feminine, it's a plant (also spelled as lotos), and it's so close to the word locust.

Lotus wasn't Wang Lung's wife. She was his concubine. His wife was O-lan. I instantly thought of that book, as well, and was put off the name as a result. It reminds me of that character, of his first meeting with her in the brothel or whatever, and the pain he causes his family through his relationship with her.

Lissa Hannah, I always find it interesting how you associate names so much with words that sound similar. You mention it in many of your comments. It's just interesting how different people pick up on different things, as I'd never think of Lotus and locust as being similar unless someone mentioned it. One of the good things about these boards is how they show different perspectives. I don't often agree with yours, but I've learned to appreciate your way of looking at names.
Even if you're usually crazy. *wink* I mean, seriously. Lotus and locust? What on earth are you thinking?! Crazy lady...*grin*...but hey, it takes all kinds, and congrat's on your unique perspective. Lol.

Thanks... :)
I think, being called crazy is the best compliment...I truly mean that! And thanks for appreciating my comments, as I do your, and everyone's on this board. We are all an eclectic bunch here. :)
