Taboo
A taboo is a word, image or association subject to restriction or rejection within a cultural context. In naming, it matters because of the meanings a name may acquire when used in different environments
What it means, how it is used and where it comes up, with its related concepts.

Identifying it requires listening to people who know those contexts, without treating a culture as a uniform group. A review reduces uncertainty but does not certify universal acceptance. The term noa is used in some areas of naming to describe a favourable result within the scope analysed.
