Re: Christian, and it's obvious religious ties

I totally agree with the sentiment of appreciating sound and aesthetic over that of original etymological implications at times. Meanings and familiarity of the meanings can be fun, but at the end of the day most people are not familiar with those connotations and moreso of the pop culture connections in broader Society. As we've talked about before often and many times a name can still be perceived as pretty or desirable divorced from its origin.

I remember really latching onto the etymology of "Christ" so I could tell myself it didn't really mean "Christian"; it meant "anointed". Like, something scared, just general sacredness. That appeased me.
That is a lovely way to think of it I think, as you are indeed sacred Chloë 💐😄
