and yet even the non religious find it in bad taste
calling your company Jesus in a small southern town would get you dirty looks at best
still surprised palantir has not caused a law suit
hell calling anything Mohhamed would start violence in many places
People should stop getting so offended over a simple name. I’ve seen lots of “Jesus” in USA small business names. Especially in the Southwest, haha.
how about we just dont use random names from other cultures, completely separate from their actual meaning
i mean its not that big a deal to me but it is kinda lazy
again the palantir example would be rage baiting though
Well, I agree that they shouldn’t use this name. That’s not even a mermaid right? I have no problem with them using a Hawaiian mermaid name for a markdown mermaid app.
I don’t agree with the name usage. Mustang is a Horse, isn’t should t be used outside of the equestrian scene? What about the white gods, I bet you’re fine using those.
Pick your favorite:
Nike, Hermes, Apollo, Zeus, Athena, Ares, Artemis, Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Atlas, Titan, Triton, Eros, Helios, Hyperion, Pegasus, Pandora, Dionysus, Aphrodite, Hercules, Mercury, Achilles, Morpheus, Nemesis, Iris, Selene, Demeter, Prometheus, Kronos, Gaia, Pan, Echo, Nyx, Orion, Phoenix, Ajax, Argus, Olympus, Perseus, Medusa
There’s an Orion web browser…. I’ll bet you’ve got some words for them.
no it is a goddess as opposed to a mythical creature
closer to the greek gods yea but far as i know no one practices that religion, regardless those are pretty lazy names as well
