HelpRe: Woodrow
in reply to a message by queenv
Hm. I'm not seeing how that's as nonsensical as all that - I'd like to see it in context. I grew up on the West Coast, and I've never felt impassioned about the Civil War - I tend to see quotes like that, and responses like yours, with curiosity. (If you want to chat about it, I'll see you in PM or in the Lounge.)
I think the take-home message here might be that in some parts of the country, Woodrow might have subtle political associations that a namer might wish to avoid.

I'm in Southern Illinois, so it's a good association to know about I suppose, but I've never made such a connection. Without all the nuances queenv seems to know about I've haven't had any impression of Woodrow Wilson other than being an admirable president.
I don't mind the connection personally because, as said, I don't hold negative associations to it. Not to mention I don't fully connect Woodrow as a "one-person-name" to the president, and I don't plan on moving any further south than I already am.
