Help[Opinions] Trotsky
in reply to a message by Elphi
I think of Trotsky, but only after I think of anarchist assassin Leon Czolgosz. I don't have the best historical associations with this name, apparently.
Similarly, when people ask questions about the use of Lennon as a first name I usually picture myself mistaking hearing it in real life as Lenin. :-)

Well... I think of Trotsky too, that's why I wrote it, but I don't think SO much of Trotsky that it rules out using the name. And in all fairness, Trotsky is a better association than Leon Czolgosz!
Funnily, my husband cannot hear a difference between Lennon and Lenin, it must be the American pronounciation that does it. Regardless I don't think Lennon should be used as a first name, but I shouldn't highjack this thread to rant about that.
