My point being: How many "Lemon Tree"s have you ever heard of? How can
you say it fits the medieval atmosphere? The Naranjo guy might not fit
at all for Spanish people, but I don't know that, and it fits as a
Spanish name for me. If I was to meet a Menina Bela in battlemaster, I
would think it doesn't fit either, but if the majority of the players
I talk to says it has a well-sounding medieval tone to it, I'd accept
it. Menina Bela means pretty girl.

And thanks, Timothy, you were faster and clearer than I. :)
