First of all, I really appreciate Itoh's research on each name. In my personal opinion, I don't see any significant problem using words in the list except those that have legal issue.
I am realizing that keeping proper line between "significant concern" vs "negligible concern" would be very tricky, especially when it comes down to regional culture and history. However, I will do my best to help this process. Anyway, I do hope we select a release name which can be loved by everyone in the community, and honor all the contributors in Japan hosting Tokyo summit.
