Why?  It's a name.  If I call myself "la carmi gusni misno", a
literalist translation of 'Robin', to wit, "Bright Fame", I am _not_
nescessarily saying that I am a bright light nor than I am famous, let
alone that I am a bright light type of famous, whatever that may mean,
any more than a person with the last name Bear is asserting their
bear-like qualities.
