Help[Opinions] Re: more random BAs

Could I ask why Artisan? Though I'm not a fan of most of your word names I can see why would would go for them but 'artisan' is just akin to naming a child 'labourer', 'craftsman', 'worker' or even 'proletariat' to me. I find it almost Marxist (socialist at least).

well originally I liked Artist I then thought I wanted something slightly different but can mean the same thing or similar. Aristan means like you said an artist/craftsman/jeweler, etc which I thought was a nice meaning.

To me 'artisan' has little to do with artists (or rather that is not my primary meaning) but as a social historian it might mean something different to me than it does to other people.
To me the meaning is more 'industrial', as I said - labourer, worker, proleteriat. The skilled craftsman with more learning than the average worker. Revolutionary, radical, socialist something quite unbalancing. If I saw 'Artisan' on a child I'd see it as a political statement, maybe the child of Marxists. I am probably alone in this though.
I wouldn't associate 'artisan' with 'artist' I think is the purpose of this rambling.

The skilled craftsman with more learning than the average worker < that's what I'm going for :).
