HelpRe: American word names of 2020, part 1 (long)
in reply to a message by Manipura
A whole new category of word names is "deadly weapon" names. Brick, Axe, Dagger, Blade, Trigger, Cannon? Please.
So many of these sound like names for dogs.
And I know Agape here has three syllables (at least I hope so) but that doesn't change the fact that the word also has two syllables and refers to someone with his mouth hung open.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Yeah, I feel like the violent/weapon names are unfortunate...there was also Dirk, Bow, Arrow, Beretta, Pike, and names like Striker, Gunner, Bash, Haze, Rowdy, Rage...though there's a bunch of baby Axels, so Axe won't stand out as much as Brick or Trigger, at least.
I like Agape as a GP, but I do imagine it would be awkward.
