The reason I chose a name is because I know of no name in Farsi that refers to the girl's genital area without it being used as a swear word. Is there one?
Also, I have heard this argument many times. It also holds true for saying "dog" instead of "hapoo" etc. I do not agree with it. All languages have baby talk , and then baby words and eventually real words. I don't think "hapoo" is deragatory, neither is poopoo. It's just an easier, or more rythmical word and they are not nonsense words. They mean definite things. When I "ghorban-sadagheh" my kids I use different words than I would an adult. I find it a natural human way of endearment and gently bringing kids up to adulthood. The fact that all cultures in the world have such words, to me shows how natural they are. And to have some specialist put a red line across it all,... well I find the theory nonsense!
cheers,
