    I say this because no two people will see the work the same (keeping with the religious undertones expressed in this thread I will draw your attention to the bible - so many interpretations there).
    Agreed. However, there can be times when an author thinks it is okay and then realizes it later (once it cannot be taken back) when it turns to be offensive. A bit of homework on my part I hope will reduce the chance of an unintentional mistake.

    Like Hayao Miyazaki with his film "Laputa." He took the name from Gulliver's Travels, not realizing that (apparently) in spanish it means "The Whore." I believe he was kinda mortified when he realised and although he could not change the film and the constant references to it, the title was changed to "Castle in the Sky" and those words are placed over the word "Laputa" on the title card at the beginning.

    Slightly, off-topic I guess, sorry. The name sounds good by the way.
    Royal: I'm very sorry for your loss, your mother was a terribly attractive woman.
