Re: Amaranthe
in reply to a message by EMB
I looked up amaranth and it's a food crop. So naming somebody Amaranth would be like naming them Soybean or Corn.
But at the same time it sounds very YA fantasy.

That's what originally turned me off to the name since I know it's used in gluten free baking. But the more it grew on me, the more I looked into the name and saw yes, the seed is ground into flour, but it's actually a flowering perennial that is named after the Greek word for "unending". So I wondered if it could be more of a flower/nature type name or if it would always be associated with the food product. But if food is what people think of first, I guess not :/
