[Opinions] Re: Can a celebrity that you can't stand destroy a name that you love?
in reply to a message by Felie
Celebrity, I'm not sure. It's worse if a favorite name of mine turns out to be the name of a murderer or child molester or something like that...
...although I do like Erszébet just because the Erszébet Bathory story is so chilling and fascinating. I don't think she was a vampire, but was she evil and mad at all? Or was that just really bad propaganda?
I started to dislike Anatoly when I learned it was the name of a Russian mass murderer. And although I think Josef (or Joseph) is a lovely name (and also the name of my hero Joseph Merrick), it's also the name of Stalin, Fritzl, Mengele, Goebbels, Kony, McCarthy...
But celebrities...not really. They are not that important.
