Re: Fanny
in reply to a message by Lily8
I don't think Fanny is usable, at all. It's in the same category as Dick. They were both once fine, usable names, but have been ruined by slang meanings.
I had a friend named Fanny in middle school. She was from Uruguay, where Fanny doesn't have the same meaning that it does in English. After about two years, she found the name too intolerably embarrassing and began to use her middle name. So I speak from some experience when I say I don't think it's usable in English-speaking countries.
