Cool, but why did they have to name it that?
It came before bard was renamed to gemini. Kind of like people who were referred to as Isis before you know, Isis.
Oh. I don't get your example, by the way (who those original "people" were).
Some people knew people named Isis bro. I did.
Hmm, interesting. That makes me think of someone whose last name was literally "Gay" before gayness as a news headliner broke out, I think right around the turn of the century. Her family changed their name to "Gray" as a result.
I wonder if a name change might have been or even might be helpful for that person you know.
