Re: Re:Let't improve the register!


Well, now, let's see . . . if the criterion is that new entries should not mean the same as names already registered in another language, I think we'd be locking the barn after the horse has flown (I've always wondered if that was Pegasus).  Not just one horse, but a vast herd.  For a very small example, I have culled the following names, all from our online AIS registry:
 
Kanarievogel and Canary Bird
 
Rotvogel and Redbird
 
Schneevogel and Snowbird
 
Weisse Taube and White Dove
 
Weisschen and Little White
 
 
That's just some of the Germans.  Then we have the French:
 
 
Dame Blanche and White Lady
 
Reine Blanche and White Queen
 
Chevalier Noir and Black Knight
 
Blancheneige and Snow White (not to forget the Germans' Schneeweisschen)
 
Mont Blanc, Mount Blanc and Monte Bianco (here come the Italians)
 
Chapeau Blanc, White Hat and Sombrero Blanco (and the Spaniards)
 
 
The list could go on, and I'm afraid I'd be here until the cows come home trying to identify all the translingual duplications.
 
Does it matter?  Well, personally, I'd hate not to be able to name an iris Morrie the Horseman because Maurice Chevalier was already taken.

But is it also what you think about the matter, or would you, like me, like to have a debate about the new entries coming from abroad.
 
We only have the Russians for the moment, but guess what, when Chinese breaders or Japanese start to question the rules because they are not clear enough?
 
Do MEANING has anything to do with a registration or not?
THIS is the issue.
 
And i'd like  more people to join the debate!
