HelpRe: think about it...
in reply to a message by RoxStar
That's not the point. Of course I know what "porn" means. But when it becomes an element in a name, it just disappears. I don't see it until someone mentions it, simple as that. And even if it somehow worked differently, and I would see it and think, "Wow, that sure would be unfortunate if they lived around here..." I'm sorry, but I just don't get it. If I'm getting on your nerves, I'll just forget about it.

Not suggesting you forget about it, but that you think realistically about it.
Let's use another example; what if someone named their daughter Scarlatina?
Could you honestly tell yourself that it's like "little Scarlett" and not see/recognize that scarlatina is a disease, what used to be called scarlet fever?
I really don't think you or anyone else could just naturally overlook that; it would take some self-deception.

I've never heard of scarlatina as a disease.
Well, it's stil out there. I remember having it and thinking at the time (I was probably seven or eight) what a pretty word it was.
Malaria is a pretty disease name too.
So is influenza and it has to do with the moon.
So's diarrhea, so's rubella ... I draw the line at pellagra.
This reminds me of a book by Cormac McCarthy called "Child of God." There's a family who run the town dump and there's like twelve daughters, all named from a medical book their father found in the trash. So there's Urethra, Sara Bella, and Hernia Sue, among others.

I thought Rubella was a pretty disease name as well.
