"On the one hand, we have every right to name our kids anything we like, as long as we keep in mind that the kid has every right -- or should have -- to change the name to something else" Hehe, Zowie Bowie changed his name to Joe. My money is on Brooklyn (Beckham ) changing his name- to just plain Brook maybe ?.... he'll never be able to go NYC until he does . As an ex NewYorker it would be hard for me to keep a straight face if a man told me his name was Brooklyn ; ) There was a UK cleaning product that was marketed in Spain........ the name had to be changed because in Spanish it translated as something quite rude. Unfortunately I can't remember the details but the point is no one checked first. Imo when launching a product it might be better if vendors did a little name check on usage/gender/meanings in a few different languages even if only selling in the Poser Universe. It would just make it all seem a bit more professional. But surely the marketing team here could help ? Also some non-native english speaking vendors could sometime use help when writing their promo blurbs. In light of Rendo wanting the galleries to look more professional ( that was mentioned in the reasons for the thumbnail rule changes I believe ) the marketplace could use help too.
