But Array darlin

Your concern about a reference to anime is likely to apply to only a small percentage of the population. Far more people are going to hear a Russian man's name when they hear Yuri.

---

I admit a bias here because I feel personally attached to the name Yuri for its meaning, which I do not associate with "girly-bits" or explicit fiction or lesbianism or any other negative reference. I also don't take that reference from Georgia O'Keeffe. Given that Sayuri means "small lily" and Yuriko is a child's diminutive of Yuri, I think those choices diminish the name and its sweet, simple meaning.

---

Your concern, while justified, rational and frank, opens up a whole other can of worms for me about art and rainbows and co-opted symbols that we should probably discuss in the Lounge some time.

Just my opinion.

I agree. Too masculine.
