[Opinions] Re: Baskyn
in reply to a message by )(
I really strongly dislike it, I don't think it looks or sounds pleasant in the slightest. It seems made-up but also really harsh and not euphonic. It sounds like a word but... isn't a word. It doesn't have any cute nicknames that some made-up trendy-seeming names seemed designed purely to have. The y seems weird. So many reasons...Also there's a Turkish horror film that had its moment of fame a few years back called Baskin which seems like a weird gory fever-dream surreal vision-of-hell of a film, that's my main association and it's not one I'd want associated with my name tbh (and I like horror). The original Turkish #baskın# means "surprise attack" or something, which isn't a good meaning either tbh.
