Help[Opinions] Re: Teague
in reply to a message by LMS
So would you say it's wrong to use the name or nn Paddy then?
I for one have never heard anyone ever use Teague and all the spellings as a pejorative. Maybe it's more common where you are from.
Personally I wouldn't not use a name because of some sort of outdated hardly used offensive term.
I mean is it hurtful to the child or offensive to name them something like Reuben or Sammy?
If a name was a name first then I think it's safe to use. If it's a derogatory term or an insult that was never used as a name historically then I think it would be wrong and offensive.
