Help[Opinions] Re: Nushi
in reply to a message by cassilda in carcosa
Basically what New_Chloë said.
That anonymous commenter took the list from Forebears (https://forebears.io/earth/forenames), where Nushi is listed as the second most common name in the world, mostly used in China.
However, it is not a name. It's Chinese for "Ms., lady (女士, https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E5%A5%B3%E5%A3%AB), so the site actually got lost in translation.
As a hypothetical name, I don't really like it since it sounds too cutesy, but it wouldn't be bad for a pet.

Thanks for finding the source - it doesn't seem very... I don't know... entirely legit, and there were some more names/'stats' on that list that raised some eyebrows (and some names missing that I'd think would be on there too, possibly) - e.g. to name a couple, Smt and I'm pretty sure Siti and Said can be a title as well as a name can't they? (I've had quite a few encounters with people/students with the 'fn' Said who've told me that's actually a formality and they go by their 'second' name).
So dodgy algorithm/ info gathering mistaking a title for a name is probably the best answer.
