Nazifa was quiet for a moment as she sipped her tea. “Who says the legends aren’t real though,” she mused. “Maybe there really are little metal people living under the ground with the old machina.”Mirai frowned for a moment. Then a grin spread across her face. “You’re just teasing me now,” she said with a laugh.Nazifa gave a cheeky smile.“Immortal Matar are just legends,” Mirai laughed. “There’s nothing under the ground but roots and ruins.”"Pity."#XanNoWriMo #StoryBeats

It occurs to me that, while Nazifa is a really pretty Arabic name, it also contains "nazi" and I'd rather keep that word out of my readers' subconsciouses. Maybe I should change this character's name. Perhaps Nasifa is an acceptable alternate spelling.

@InvaderXan that's not even something I'd considered. D: Nasifa is lovely though!

@InvaderXan I'm sorry to admit that my first thought was of some weird portmanteau of nazi and antifa, but without the "anti" everything is just worse.

@vicorva Yeah, maybe I'm just overly sensitive to it, IDK. I'm also wary of how search engines pick things up.Maybe it's best to call her Nasifa instead. It doesn't have quite the same meaning, but it's close enough.

@zatnosk @InvaderXan I had the same experience, actually 😐 I like Nasifa, I've also seen the "zi" sound romanized from arabic names as "zee" (e.g. Nazeem)

@InvaderXan @Tak Sorry! 😢 The context of the fediverse often talking about nazis and antifa doesn't help :/But it _is_ a really pretty name.

@InvaderXan ... I didn't say anything, but when I saw your post yesterday I thought it was a mashup of "Nazi" and "Antifa", so yeah, I'd support a name change <_<

@InvaderXan ... I'm not sure I can explain anything right now. And somehow I'm feeling guilty for even mentioning it.

@zatnosk I guess I'd rather know, seeing as you weren't the only person on this distributed hellsite to think it.

@InvaderXan I vote to keep Nazifa. I read it with a z, not with a ts like nazi.And besides, you can't let horrible people take beautiful names away from us. :)

@InvaderXan reading the conversation, maybe changing it to Nazeefa could work? Otherwise Nasifa is fine too.

@InvaderXan You can spell it differently, like ‘Nadhifa’. The Z is just a transcription of ظTo me it's weird that you can name someone ‘Clean’. Imagine a man called ‘Nadif’ who never takes showers! 😂
