IMO the greatest upgrade from English to Spanish is the elegant word “cebolla” which I believe is a great name for one’s daughter

Swan sounds downright bad, cisne wn, un cisne es bonito. Un swan suena como un pirobo que le va a meter un traque ni la mil hp, un cisne suena como alguien que va a baile y ese tipo de vainas.

Я хочу знать.

Cisne looks like the Greek κύκνος which is a lovely word (lovelier than their awful temper when you don't feed them)
