If instead of ignoring meaning, we ignored cultural context, Lucifer is a great one. Sounds nice, means light bringer.

The cultural context on this is weird, because it's even used for Jesus in the book of Revelation.

Sounds like one of those gothic names that doesn’t fit the woman until she’s around 60. Aunt Chlamydia, or something.

Aunt Chlamydia and her room-mate Auntie Biotic

Isis was a pretty name

My next D&D campaign is going to have a character named Mendacious in charge of a prominent faction. Language nerds will know he's a traitor right off the bat

Most metals work pretty well

  • Aluminum
  • Bismuth
  • Mercury
  • Nickel (some people are already named this, but spelled Nicole)
[-] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

Nickel... spelled Nicole

That's some crazy pronunciation if those two sound similar.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 2 months ago

With how many trans women name themselves after gemstones, more trans men should name themselves after metals

Labia sounds like a nice name. Though more for a country than a person.
