Help[Opinions] Re: Fauna
in reply to a message by erb816
I like the look and sound of Fauna but I worry that it lacks substance as it's similar to Fawn.
Does anyone remember Oliver North's secretary Fawn Hall of the Iran-Contra affair? Not many parents seriously consider Fauna as an name. In contrast, Flora has been around since the 1700's. I remember Flora MacDonald from my British History course as the woman who helped Charles Edward Stuart escape from government troops after the Battle of Culloden.

It seems I'm shamefully not up on my American history, because I didn't recall his secretary at all (though I definitely know who Oliver North is). When I hear Fawn (as opposed to Fauna) as a name, I think of two movie characters:
1. (entirely off-screen) Fawn in Animal House who allegedly died in a kiln accident; and
2. Lafawnduh in Napoleon Dynamite
