Ha. I didn't even know lye was an English word. Google translate for the win.
We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.

I know you're not in an English speaking country but just like when someone tells me that "Pippa" means something that I would want to avoid as a name in a non-English language (or Galen for example), I try to steer clear of them in our increasingly globalized world if I'm aware. Obviously only very unappealing meanings but it changed how I felt about Philippa "Pippa" completely.
I have ended up in a part of the world that I'd have never imagined and that I'm sure my parents never did either. From my graduating class of a little over 110, there are about 15-20 of us living abroad (US, UK, Belgium, Norway, Germany, Kenya). I don't want to knowingly put my kid in an odd situation. Lye falls into that for me. It would be different if it was an established and classic Swedish name though.
