Help[Opinions] Re: Dove
in reply to a message by Higuma Kanora
I can see the appeal. It’s short and sweet and the birds can be a symbol of peace and love, but it has a few strikes against it.
It’s a brand name for a couple of different products. Not particularly negative ones (who doesn’t like soap and ice cream bars?) but still.
It’s a common homograph, like bow, lead, bass, etc. When people see it in print, there will be confusion over whether you meant the bird or the past tense of “dive”. Normally I’d say common sense should solve that one, but this is the age of people naming their kid Sailor and Stormi and Crew, so who knows?
Anybody who has lived in a larger city has probably had to contend with pigeons, which at the end of the day are the same bird. If you haven’t been pooped on you’ve probably had your lunch stolen or hit one on your bike. It’s a lot of bad memories for a lot of people, is all I’m saying.
