Ok just to clear things up for the repliers, what I should’ve said was that the first part of this word being rape is unfortunate, but not a big deal. It’s fine as a name, but not what I would go with. Like how Uranus is a fine name, but not what I would name it if I was the official namer of planets.

> Uranus

Ignoring that it's usually pronounced Uran-us rather than Ur-anus, really? I spend a lot of time around physicists and astrophysicists and I think you can probably guess how much of an issue this is (or for any adults)
