Help[Opinions] Re: Bear and Lion
in reply to a message by Anneza
Almost every name in the world means something funny in another language or has elements in it that mean something funny. Kara means 'penalty/punishment' in Polish, for example. Should we now avoid tons of perfectly fine names because they mean something bad or weird in a language that the child might someday learn? That would be impossible. Also Zahn is pronounced with an TS sound in German, not with a Z sound. Doesn't sound the same at all.
Lion doesn't even mean anything bad. It's not any different from other nature or animal names such as Brook, Summer, Autumn, Robin and Willow. Would you tell someone who wanted to meet a robin to go to a bird sanctuary? And yes, I know it's also a short form of Robert but it still sounds exactly like the name of the bird.
All I was saying is that naming is a matter of taste and different people will like different names. I wouldn't mind at all to be named Tiger or something but would dislike something really boring or overused like Caitlin or Alexandra. To each their own.
