the thing folks living in Christian dominant cultures gotta realize is that even if you’re not Christian, your basic understanding of religion and spirituality and morality is still being filtered through a Christian lens. your very concept of what religion is and does is filtered through that lens.
I feel like the obvious nickname for Renesmee is May, so it shows how Jacob was just wild with mad creativity to be like “Wait. No. let’s nickname her after the Loch Ness monster”
Could you imagine if they did call her May though and when she goes to school her friends are like “May is fucking short for WHAT?!”
