Re: Thoughts on Cypress?
in reply to a message by nate_h
I would expect Cypress to be a (large and beautiful) tree, and Cyprus - which for practical purposes sounds the same - to be an island in the Mediterranean. So, what I dislike about them both is that they are just not human. They therefore have no gender, which answers your second question.

All word names are not human though, and the majority of non-word names originally came from word names.
Yep. And, in this instance, it matters.
