ArchivesThe name Aslan is missing in BtN
This name should be both among Turkish names and Litarary names.
Maybe C S Lewis (author of the Narnia books) took the name Aslan for a reason? Does the Turkish name Aslan mean "lion"?

I learned my lesson well.

So you got to please yourself."

Yes...
at least according to this site:
http://www.turkishculture.org/lifestyles/Is%20it%20a%20HE%20or%20a%20SHE.html#A
which, judging from my *very* limited knowledge of Turkish, is reasonably reliable

Thank you, I see there are two spellings of Aslan
But I don't like the spelling Arslan. It makes me think of the Swedish word "arsle" which is a not so polite word for "behind".
