I was only saying that to me there isn't as much teasing potential for Gaia as there is for Gay.
I used Virginia as an example because to me naming a kid Gay would be like naming a kid Virgin in terms of teasing potential whereas Gaia and Virginia might lead to teasing but not necessarily because it's not that obvious.
I've only heard of one pronunciation of Virginia in English speaking countries.
Yeah, that's fine. To each their own.

There are two pronunciations I've heard for Virginia in the US, vər-JIN-yə which is more common and vər-JIN-ee-əh which isn't very common.
And upon thinking about it more I've also heard the JIN part pronounced JEEN before.
I use to be apart of Gaia Online in 11th or 12th grade. I thought it was lame but slightly addictive when I was participating in it. Obviously it wasn't additive enough but was lame enough that I left quickly. It's basically a very middle school place to RP and chat just like Neopets was. Also like Neopets it has a lot of stuff you can customize. These days it also has a MMO you can play so maybe it has become less lame than it was. Gaia Online was a fairly popular place to hang out amongst kids my age who liked anime when I was in high school. The site started when I was in 10th grade.

Yups, to each their own. We can't all like the same things!
