Re: Edelweiss as a name?

It certainly does have a certain lovely sweetness to it. Objectively, the sentimental side of me that compulsively browses vintage floral teacups on facebook marketplace finds it charming. However, I would avoid it for the next 350 years or so, because anything in German that puts "noble" and "white" together in the same word sets off terrible little master-race bells, and will for a while, no matter how innocuous it is outside of that context.
