[Opinions] Re: Mariposa
in reply to a message by Siân
I did not know that it was a gay slur in Spanish! Thanks for letting me know. :)I have thought about Marisol as well as Marielle, Mariella (in honor of Mary my grandmother and Ella, Mary's mother), Mirabel and Maribel/ Maribelle.

Marpesia (ETA)I came across this as a butterfly genus name...there are some really beautiful, colorful butterflies carrying this as a part of their name. Haven't found yet how it's meant to be pronounced, but there it is for you. :)Just found this: http://www.learnaboutbutterflies.com/Latin%20pronunciation.htm
