Re: Co-worker BA (kind of)
in reply to a message by Ninor
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.
