Well, yes, the meaning is nice, but Windsbraut just a bizarre name, since we usually never use word names, much less so complex ones. Which is probably why I don't like those in general. River is a horrible GP of mine, probably because English isn't my first language. When I imagine calling someone "Fluss" ("river" in German), though, I see that it's gonna stay a GP forever. There's an actress called "Wolke" ("cloud") here (I have no idea how she got her name) and it's just really strange everytime someone announces her. It's just a thing to me, not a person.

I still don't like the word "name Nazi", but I do realise you didn't mean it like that. I just don't like "Nazi" being applied to something so insignificant. Maybe it really is my being German and being called a Nazi pretty often for it, though. I can't see it from another perspective.

I also don't see myself as intolerant. At all. Though if you consider not liking and disapproving of something as being intolerant of it, then I guess I am. It's not like I have much of a choice but tolerate it, do I? I can hardly keep people from using Charles-on-a-girl, Shanee'Quantaeiya, McMaddysynn, etc., etc.

I'm really going to bed now, I don't feel so good (which has nothing to do with you; I'm just really sensitive in the last few months). Good night. :)
