HelpRe: Maple
in reply to a message by abbasdaughter
But in order to become an official real name you have to use a word as a name. You just have to start somewhere. And Autumn hasn't been used at all before the 60s. Also I don't think Kaede will ever become as well known as Phoebe so she'd have to explain it over and over for the rest of her life.

I'd still rather explain it than walk around as Maple. People in mono-cultural settings could benefit from some expansion of awareness of other cultures anyway. Just because people grow up in a bubble with limited awareness of the world beyond them doesn't mean they have to stay in the unaware bubble... and my point was that those around the person w/ the name would get used to it quickly and it would be really easy to say, so it wouldn't be a problem... not like if I used a name with the Ry consonant cluster.
