Re: Name of the day: Belén
in reply to a message by Ora (hufflepuffer)
Until right at this moment I didn’t know it had any religious connotations at all. I think it’s pretty but unfortunately if you add an extra L, and put a D on the end it becomes a common English (and Scottish? possibly just British) insult, which it already sounds like anyway.

Eh, I find that to be reaching personally because it's not really said the same way as bell-end.
Anyway, I'm not British so it wouldn't be an issue for me.

Hmm, the emphasis is on the second syllable in both, it’s just a dropped D. But if that’s not relevant to you it’s fine, it just is for me and affects my thoughts on the name :)
