[Opinions] Re: Tycho
I became aware of it after Tycho Brahe. I'm not sure about it, I don't think of the toy brand though but I don't have any kids and it would probably be much more apparent when you have a kid called Tycho! I can imagine it more on a pet.

Tycho BraheHe was my first thought, too. Maybe it's just because I'm a history buff, but as soon as I saw the name I thought, "Oh, that astronomer dude who's bladder exploded! Cool!" In fact, when the toy company was mentioned it took me a few minutes to realize what toy company people were actually talking about. I really do love the name, though.By the way, your signature is fantastic!

ouch, I never knew about his bladder, that doesn't sound like the best way to go. I discovered him in a historical novel actually...maybe I shouldn't admit that! Astronomy isn't my thing.lol, thanks, I love Edwin Morgan, you can actually hear him read the poem at
