Names that have a "new" meaning
I don't know if this fits Opinions better, but I'd like to know som names that are hardly used in English-speaking (or other!) countries any longer, because they have a "new" meaning or bad associations.
Those I've been thinking of:
Fanny (such a pity...it's still a popular name here in Sweden, where it's just...a name)
Titty
Gay (not that there's anything wrong with being homosexual, but, you know what some people think...)
Gaylord
Lesbia
Lagina
Daffy
Sissy
DickSurrealism is the magical surprise of finding a lion in a wardrobe where you were sure of finding shirts - Frida Kahlo
