ArchivesRe: Names with a meaning antonimous with "chaste"?
in reply to a message by Getb2
Do you have statistical data on this? I would be really curious to know what percentage of parents today pick names from baby name books or websites. I have a feeling it is actually quite small.
And certainly, in the past, say up to the last quarter of the 20th century, name websites did not exist and the usage of name books was pretty negligible.

nope statistical data so, take my words with a grain of salt, but if I am wrong the fact remains that people almost never use etymology (or correct etymology) to decide their children's names.

By the way, in English the official spelling is "antonymous."

I made a typo... and you correct my ortography? To err is human... But thanks anyway.

Well, you know we all did end up with the misspelled word appearing over 30 times on the board home page. My eyes were starting to ache, so I was glad that the correction was finally made.
You certainly did not hesitate to correct people immediately when you thought they were mistaken.
And it's "orthography." 8-)

correcting a title is easier than correcting the body of the message, thanks for the correction 'though.
