Antipodean: June 9, 2024 I completely agree with you on the use of language, especially names, as thought control. How far does this go back though?

I don’t know how far back European peoples have been naming their children after Jews rather than their own kinsmen. I’ll leave the discovery of that to others. But our people were European long before we were “Christianized,” more or less at the point of a lance.
My point is, look forward rather than to this past custom of naming our children with Hebrew or Christian names. Stop it! Cease! It is not difficult to name our babies with European names rather than Middle Eastern Hebrew names — or to go to the courthouse and legally change one’s Hebrew name to something more appropriate. Several National Alliance members have done just that.
Negros, though many still largely claim to be Christian, have certainly gotten away from giving their children Hebrew names. Some laughable ones found in an Internet search: Cellularphoniqua, Unidastazovamerikaliqua, Alejandrisha Fri’chikenisha, Que’Shayda, Bo’Vanashrianiqualiquanice Toprameneesha, La’Quishria, King’Kong’Quisha, Colla’greeniqua. We can laugh, but those are their kids. They can name them anything they want. We can do better with names that are more meaningful to us.
To get halfway back on topic, The name Caitlin is a girl’s name of Irish origin meaning “pure” — an Irish and Welsh form of Catherine with many other European variants: Caitlín, Cathleen, Kathleen (Irish) Caitlyn, Kaitlin, Kaitlyn, Kaitlynn, Katelin, Katelyn, Katelynn, Katlyn, Caetlin (English) Katerina (Albanian) Aikaterine (Ancient Greek) Katalin, Kattalin (Basque) Katsiaryna (Belarusian) Katarin, Katell(Breton) Ekaterina, Katina, Katerina (Bulgarian) Caterina (Catalan) Catalina (Corsican) Katarina, Kata, Kate, Katica, Tina (Croatian) Kateřina, Karin, Katka (Czech) Cathrine, Catrine, Katarina, Kathrine, Katrine, Caja, Ina, Kaja, Karen, Karin, Katharina, Trine (Danish) Catharina, Katrien, Katrijn, Cato, Ina, Karin, Katinka, Rina, Rini, Riny, Tina, Tineke, Trijntje (Dutch) Kadri, Katariina, Katrin, Kadi, Kai, Kaia, Kaidi, Kaisa, Kaja, Karin, Kati, Riin, Riina, Triin, Triinu (Estonian) Katariina, Katriina, Iina, Kaarina, Kaija, Kaisa, Karin, Kata, Kati, Katri, Riina (Finnish) Katelijn, Katelijne (Flemish) Catherine, Carine, Karine (French) Nienke, Nine, Nynke (Frisian) Catarina, Catuxa (Galician) Ekaterine, Eka (Georgian) Katharina, Katherina, Katrin, Cathrin, Catrin, Ina, Karen, Karin, Katarina, Katarine, Katharine, Käthe, Kathrin, Katinka (German) Aikaterini, Ekaterini, Katerina, Katina, Kaiti, Keti (Greek) Kakalina (Hawaiian) Kateri (History) Katalin, Kata, Katalinka, Kati, Katica, Katinka, Kató, Kitti (Hungarian) Katrín, Karen (Icelandic) Caterina, Rina(Italian) Katerina(Late Roman) Katrīna, Keita (Latvian) Kotryna, Katrė (Lithuanian) Ekaterina, Katerina, Katina(Macedonian) Cateline (Medieval French) Cathrine, Catrine, Katarina, Kathrine, Katrine, Ina, Kaia, Kaja, Karen, Kari, Karin, Katharina (Norwegian) Catarina (Occitan) Katarzyna, Kasia (Polish) Catarina (Portuguese) Cătălina, Ecaterina, Catina, Catrinel (Romanian) Ekaterina, Jekaterina, Yekaterina, Katenka, Katerina, Katia, Katya, Katyusha (Russian) Caderina (Sardinian) Catrina, Catriona, Katrina, Katriona (Scottish) Caitrìona (Scottish Gaelic) Katarina (Serbian) Katarína, Katka (Slovak) Katarina, Ina, Inja, Kaja, Karin, Katica (Slovene) Katarina (Sorbian) Catalina, Lina (Spanish) Cathrine, Catrine, Katarina, Katrin, Cajsa, Carin, Catharina, Ina, Kaja, Kajsa, Karin, Karina, Katharina, Tina (Swedish) Kateryna (Ukrainian) Catrin, Cadi (Welsh)
To Jews and other non-Whites the European name Karen/Karin has recently come to symbolize “White privilege” so that now it passes as ordinary and acceptable in a negative sense. It’s like you say, Antipodean: “the use of language, especially names, as thought control.”
