[Facts] Do any known names reference twilights in general?
As in they don't necessarily reference JUST dawn or dusk. On feminine names, I haven't gotten anywhere except for two that I wouldn't be surprised are cases of my reaching overmuch: Ayamo/彩雲 (Japanese, "painted clouds") and Shurengerel (Mongolian, "coral light"). Both things that could be associated with both dawn and dusk, but even from my Anglophonic seat they look like they could be tenuous. I haven't checked masculine names so far at all.Does anyone have any better references to work with?
