HelpRe: Can you imagine these names on a grown woman?
in reply to a message by Theodora'sMommy
THANK YOU. I was upset after reading this that somehow not liking a fantasy creature as a name made me racist/xenophobic.
I was a little unsure about voicing the "twit gene" idea, but I fully appreciate that you soldiered on it with it. Thank you.

Eh, it's not racist to dislike Pixie (although bringing up genes as a reasoning doesn't help one's case in that respect), but I agree with the point Janan was making. It seems no less demonstrative of a cultural bias to me if someone says "I wouldn't vote for someone named Pixie" than if they said "I wouldn't vote for someone named Hussein"...of course, that doesn't mean people won't be biased (subconsciously or not) against them based on their name either way.
