Help[Opinions] Re: Fantasma
in reply to a message by Leontine
I know people get cranky about the "teasing" argument against names, but... I wouldn't use a name with -asm- in it; Fantasma would get called Orgasma, for sure.
YMMV, but while it's nice in a whimsical sort of way, I don't think it'd fly in real life.

I think most teenagers are familiar with the term and I can also imagine plenty of adults in a workplace sniggering over the name Fantasma.

They might well know that it's something "dirty" or "rude" that grownups don't like them to say out loud. What a temptation!

Most, I should think... don't forget that it can be older teens who are the most vicious and damaging bullies.
Jasmine is familiar and doesn't sound like a medical term.
