Why is Zig a bad name?

Why is Zig a bad name?
- ford_o 5y agoI would go with Zag.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoI have to respectfully but strongly disagree. No one is moving 'zags' for great justice
- dsabanin 5y agoI may be mistaken, but isn’t it phonetically phonetically same as German “sieg”? As in, “sieg heil” (nazi salute)?
- davidkunz 5y agoGerman here. First of all, "Sieg" doesn't have a negative connotation, it just means "victory", nobody in Germany automatically associates it with with "Sieg Heil". Second of all, "Zig" doesn't sound like the German "Sieg", as the latter sounds more like the English "seek".
- davidkunz 5y agoUpdate: You really have to enforce the association like shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_SwFHtgJCQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U_SwFHtgJCQ
- dsabanin 5y agoOkay, that's good to know. Thanks for taking time to explain. I'll have to correct my association then. Knowing that I was way off on that actually made my day better. I heard this word in Eastern Europe countries exclusively referred to as a name for the neo-nazi salute.
- davidkunz 5y agoGlad I could clarify :)
