Help[Opinions] Re: Maple
in reply to a message by abbasdaughter
In my area, we have plenty of people who read manga. But they're all about 13 years old. I used to read manga. Still wouldn't assume Kaede "rhymes with Friday", if I met an American child with the name.
Like Amphelise said, Maple has been used enough in the US to make charts a few times. Kaede hasn't.
Plus, Maple aligns with a few trends in the US (similar feel to Hazel, Mabel, which are coming back). Kaede doesn't.
Honestly I don't even see how Maple and Kaede are comparable, except that they mean the same thing. Eve and Psyche both originate from their languages word for "to breathe". That doesn't mean they're automatically alternates for each other.
