If instead of ignoring meaning, we ignored cultural context, Lucifer is a great one. Sounds nice, means light bringer.

[-] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 27 points 1 week ago

The cultural context on this is weird, because it's even used for Jesus in the book of Revelation.

Sounds like one of those gothic names that doesn’t fit the woman until she’s around 60. Aunt Chlamydia, or something.

Aunt Chlamydia and her room-mate Auntie Biotic

I think Mutiny, Heresy, and Larceny would work.

Isis was a pretty name

My next D&D campaign is going to have a character named Mendacious in charge of a prominent faction. Language nerds will know he's a traitor right off the bat

I can't remember what radio program it was but some language researchers were talking about a survey they did of how pretty (I can't remember if if was specifically medical) words are and they mentioned that a lot of people find the word Chlamydia very pretty

Most metals work pretty well

  • Aluminum
  • Bismuth
  • Mercury
  • Nickel (some people are already named this, but spelled Nicole)
[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

Nickel... spelled Nicole

That's some crazy pronunciation if those two sound similar.

[-] MissGutsy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 week ago

With how many trans women name themselves after gemstones, more trans men should name themselves after metals

Labia sounds like a nice name. Though more for a country than a person.
