[Opinions] Re: Maria, India or Asia? (more)
in reply to a message by Perrine
India and Asia sound pretty but generally come across as shallow (the name choices, not the people themselves) when I've seen them used. They're kitschy.
I'd say the same of America and Cheyenne and Ireland.
They also remind me uncomfortably of colonialism, imperialism, nationalism. Plus, it seems vaguely sexist to me that place names are so often considered feminine.
Maria seems traditional, pragmatic, chic, ageless. It makes me think of music, candles, stained glass, earth tones, black.
