Are there any practicioners of Yoruba here, or people with knowledge of the Yoruba culture?
I've got a novel set about 1,000 years in the future. I don't reference Yoruba specifically in the text, but I have a couple of starships named after orishas.
Although I've read a little about the Yoruba religion, I haven't been able to get a sense of whether or not the use of names would be considered disresepctful or otherwise improper. The specific names aren't critical to the plot (apart from showing how pieces of 21st century culture have survived the centuries), so I'd rather change them than offend anyone.
Thanks in advance for any help!
