As a former muslim, I can say the image of [name_m]Azrael[/name_m] people have in their heads is more like satan rather than an angel unfortunately. I can’t see anybody around me tolerating it. Especially on a non-Muslim child, since they believe [name_m]Azrael[/name_m] is terrifying and cruel to non-believers. (I don’t know what Jews believe about it, but on the Islamic side that’s it)
I agree that it should be more gentle but it might be useful to mention it’s not really usable.
I’d like to see Annette’s entry updated. I think this name is gorgeous and deserves a description beyond “it’s as passé as the Mouseketeers.”
The description for [name_f]Annistyn[/name_f] is kind of mean.
I think this needs to be changed:
[name_u]Cass[/name_u] (m) Diminutive of [name_m]Casper[/name_m] etc; "keeper of the treasure"
[name_u]Cass[/name_u] (f) Diminutive of [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f] or Cassia; "shining or excelling MAN"
Why does the male variation of the name have a meaning while the female variation refers to a man with a completely different meaning altogether?
I think the “Stick with Sascha” can be left off of the entry for [name_f]Nascha[/name_f].
Doesn’t make sense, they have completely different origins, if I were Native American why would I choose a Russian name? 
The only thing I can come up with is the sound of the name and familiarity level. Otherwise, I thought the same thing you did on seeing it.
Ugh!! I hope they can change that soon!
The capitalization needs to be fixed in the description for Ruta.
The description for Selwyn is rude. It says “Selwyn’s not a wynner.”
Out of curiosity, what sources does Nameberries use for their descriptions?
Add names you want to see added to this thread.
[name_m]Will[/name_m] do, thanks!
Oh, and Verena’s description is a bit unnecessary now that a multitude of older names are all coming back.
The male version of [name_u]Cass[/name_u] refers to the meaning of [name_m]Casper[/name_m] and the female version refers to the meaning of [name_f]Cassandra[/name_f].
The man meaning comes from the andra part: ἀνήρ (aner) means man.
at some point, i think Katinka said that they were sourced from a name book? so some of the descriptions weren’t added by them
I think they were sourced from their own name book though, I’m sure they had several prior to / in the early days of Nameberry.
The database entry for [name_u]Rosen[/name_u] has conflicating pronunciations. In the ‘heading’ for the name, it says ROZ-en and in the description it says ROH-zen. I would love to know which one is correct/traditional. 
Ahhh… Thank you. It just seemed weird to me due to the descriptions.
[name_f]Tuilelaith[/name_f] doesn’t have a description or any information. It’s an older Irish spelling of [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f] and means “Lady of abundance”.
Olivia’s entry still says it’s #2 in US, when it’s the most popular name now
[name_m]Can[/name_m] I just clarify something about the purpose of updating the descriptions? Also disclaimer - every time time I write this out it seems to come off a bit snarky, but I swear I’m genuinely asking!
I orginally thought the idea was only to remove offensive/outdated/problematic descriptions, but I’ve seen a lot of posts here recently asking descriptions to be changed mostly because they are not positive about the name. Is Nameberry looking to get rid of the negative bits in name descriptions? I know it can be a bit soulcrushing to read something scathing about your favourite name, but I personally kind of like it the way it is now. I understand why you might want to make things generally more positive though. I know the comments on names were removed for similar negativity reasons (I think?) so I wasn’t sure if you guys were doing a complete rehaul with the opinions or not.
