Speaking of trans character names, I really wonder what Lev is short for, if anything, in The Last of Us Part II. Levinas? Leverage? Levitate?

Anyway that's probably where Lev in TLoU got it, as a "Bible name", given his cultural background

I glanced at the Discourse over this and there's some arguing over whether Lev Bronstein/Leon Trotsky's birth name was actually the Russian or the Hebrew "Lev" and whether saying it's the first one is erasing his Jewishness etc. (even though his family was super assimilated)

Yeah I was just saying to someone who told me this that it seemed weird if that was it since the Seraphites are so obviously Christian, but then I realized Christians use Hebrew names sometimes (and do in TLOU, Joel is clearly Christian and named his daughter Sarah)
-
Christian use Hebrew names *all the time* considering that's what all the "Bible names" are It's just that the more hardcore Christians are the ones more likely to use the more obscure names
