關於Naming的意思和用法的提問

A:

I think that’s a beautiful name! As for your worries - there are quiet a few Western names that start with “As” (Ashton, Aspen, Ashley, Asia, Astrid) and I can honestly say no one associates those names with “ass”. I don’t think there would be any problems with the name “Asurou”!

A: I attempted to answer the other question but it has been closed so I am answering here


I understood @sleep0122 question differently.

I did not think that sleep0122 was aware that Asuro shares the same first two phonemes as "ass," because it seems to me that if words share the same phonemes, in the same order, at the beginning of the words, there will be an inevitable "reminiscence" between them. Is it appropriate to say "between them" when their beginnings are *the same*?

I have not myself been reminded of bottoms when mentioning "Ascot" but I think that is because "ass" is not a British word for bottom, only for a type of horse (ass n.1: solid ungulate quadruped beast of burden of the horse kind, but smaller and with long ears and a short mane). I wonder if Ascot became so famous as a UK horse racing venue in part due to the, again inevitable, association with horses.

I think that Americans would inevitably be reminded of bottoms because the first two phonemes, of their word for "bottom" ("ass") and "Asuro" are shared. That there are some people making the association between Ascot and ass as can be seen from Googling the two, e.g.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Ascot

@sleep0122 I am not in the slightest upset by the lack of not being awarded the featured answer but I am worried by the fact that the choice of the featured answer seems to me to be a sort of "Phew, that is what I wanted to think," in response to an answer provided by someone who is not American, nor uses "ass" to mean "arse", and which encourages a decision that may be detrimental to your son.

A: It means you wanted to stop naming states. Like it was boring for you

A: When you don't care (non professional setting) just append 2/copy/edit/mod to the end of the filename.
If this was for a job, rename the file to be more descriptive of your change.
Side note: in mathematics you'll often see apostrophe used for minor changes. Like A, A', A''

A: if it is your sculpture that you are naming, it’s really your choice. if it were me, i would name it “the whipper” just because it sounds better to my ears.

if you are referring to another artist’s piece, that artist has rather named their piece using the word “the” or without it, so you just refer to it the way they named it.
