  • I was 11 or 12 and was assigned Emily Dickinson for a school assignment about poets, I had to do all the research at home because the school computers blocked everything, even the Wikipedia article

    I've been aware of the Scunthorpe problem ever since

    You know about the thousands of people named "Dick"? Even in English speaking countries?

    Just own that name you like. There have been cars by major companies named "Wanker" in foreign languages, and it didn't matter. As long you aren't living in an english speaking country and choose "Thundercunt McCumdribble" as a name, it's not an issue lol

    Yes it does, in modern parlance. From what I can tell though it;s older Sanskrit meaning was "the source" in relationship to life, or the divine creation, and could mean womb, etc.. but the name is still common today because it has long standing traditional spiritual meaning, and is less seen for the modern use of the word. It is also the base of Yonic, or vaginal like.

    Something i just remembered from my Latin classes in school: a large amount of women's names in ancient rome were ailments and negatively viewed attributes transformed into a Name; that's why Lena is "lazy". Another one is "Claudia" which means "The one walking with a limp". So i would advise you to ignore these things - noone has thought about them outside of latin freaks for the last centuries.

    I don't know - but i know my latin teacher was able to rattle down a list of around 20 very common names which all had something to do with ailments. Monty Python even used this fact (and the one that male names often had positive meaning) it in "Life of Brian" - the scene with "Biggus Dickus and Incontinentia" (in german he's "Schwanzus Longus") hits harder if you know these facts lol
