I thought of Taliban instantly the first time I saw you post about
Taliba. When I looked up the meaning, I wondereded if they came from the same root, because it seemed to make sense. I deffinatley would avoid
Taliba because of this.
But
Tiamat doesn't remind me of Tiananmen, even now that you have pointed it out, and I like the meaning. I like
Tiamat too, it's got spunk. Great name.
