| Post subject: | Zirg |
Zirg: the name of a fictional country from Prince of Yen. Zurg: something from Toy Story that wants to kill Buzz Lightyear. I've never seen toy story; I plead ignorance to the thing. However, from the moment I changed the country's name I've had people tell me that's all they can think of. But, I've also had people tell me it's not a problem. I was going to change it, but someone said it was fine, so I decided not to change it, and someone said something about Buzz Lightyear. So, thus a choice must be made: How do you feel about the name Zirg for a fairytale country? Will you always and forever associate it with Toy Story? |

What do you know? 100% say 'No'.  Though I have seen the Toy Story 1 and 2 (and parts of 3), that was a long time ago. Because of my distance from the movies and dislike of them when I was a kid (please no one berate me for that -- 'twould be off topic ) the name has almost no effect on me.I will briefly think of Toy Story, but almost immediately move on and embrace the fact that this is a completely different entity than the character of Toy Story. |

I would think about it, yes. I probably wouldn't dwell on it. When I first read Zurg, I would say to myself "That's really close to Zirg from Toy Story", and I might wonder if that is where you got it from, but I would eventually move on. |

To me Zirg seems a bit space-agey, if I where you I'd probably want to change it to something else. Your choice, do what you think suits it best. |

I like it Vanya, I guess it depends how relevant it is to your story. ~Aleena P.s Airi, you had them mixed up. Zurg is the thing from toy story, and Zirg is Vanya's country. |

(and finally, although it doesn't sound nearly as close:) Zorg: An online space strategy game. Also a villain from the movie Fifth Element. This would seem to corroborate Josiah's assessment of it being somewhat "space-agey". Perhaps insert a vowel between the 'r' and 'g'? Uh..."Zirug"..."Zureg"..."Zareg"...?

I read this thread title and thought 'Toy Story!' Partly because I didn't know Zurg in Toy Story was spelled Zurg and not Zirg. I'll probably always and forever think of Toy Story.  I can't help it. Things like that, especially from when I was younger, stick in my head. So I would say change the name.
