I am looking for a name for an idea that I have for a website. It is a niche hobby, but there is a greek word for it that most people don't know. Lets say its a book club and the word was Bibliophile or a music club called Melophile.

Would you, if you did not know the meaning, think of it as something sexual, or maybe even something bad? I am nervous that users might relate it to pedophile even though that is just one of, (but maybe best known) philias there are

That part where it sounds negative is happening in your own head.

I think if you step back and evaluate this thread, you’ll find we’re all telling you it’s a non-problem.

My advice is to not worry about it and move on.

And, long shot, maybe take a look at your social surroundings and see if you’ve been in a group of pathological offense-takers. Hanging out with these types can result in your seeing the world as a minefield of unintended social insult.

It really seems to me like the thing you’re worried about is a non-issue.
