Help[Opinions] Re: What do you think about the name Gethsemane?
in reply to a message by poryphoros
It's a mouthful of sibillants and it doesn't roll off the tongue.
More than that, it is a Biblical name, but one so loaded with meaning/symbolism that it is not used even by devoutly religious people. It's about like Calvary, it's not used as a name for the same reason.
Bad idea.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
