Helpnot sexist and not uppity either.
in reply to a message by speakofthewolf
My take on caprice as negative or sexist: If the English word capricious is the main association with the name Caprice, Caprice could only be negative or "sexist" in a way similar to how Brutus or Vincent is negative or "sexist." Capricious connotes instability, but the emphasis isn't on mindlessness - it's instability combined with the power and freedom to act in a way that affects others.
I think the word Caprice used as a name is kind of like Harmony - it describes a pleasing quality. It's the quality of having freedom to do as you please moment to moment; spontaneity. And it's about as snobbish or stripperish as Harmony, IMO - not very much of either but tending towards commonness.
I don't favor the name because the capr- part always makes me think of goats.
