Blue Seas or Bue Seas

I have the feeling that someone complained about the use of Blue Seas for the name of the new "Gay and Lesbian Resort." I see there is a Blue Seas Resort in Broome, Australia and they may have filed a complaint about someone using their name. What to do, what to do. Hey, I got an idea, let's drop the "L" and call it "Bue Seas." I mean, how lame is that?

Now, for those of you interested, Bue, in Gilbertese mythology, is the son of a woman magically impregnated by the sun.

Bue


Bue travelled to the east by canoe, seeking his father and his inheritance of cleverness, te rabakau, and knowledge, te ataibai. Like the Polynesian hero Maui, the determined Bue assaulted the sun god and obtained his desire. Although the father tried to hinder Bue's the later exploits, Bue was the cultural founder hero. He taught men how to build canoes and houses, how to raise winds by magic, how to ensure health and prosperity, and how to compose dance chants.
Now what, you might ask, is Gilbertese mythology. Well, Gilbertese is a culture, language, and a set of islands in the Pacific Ocean. The Gilbertese are an isolated outpost some 2000 miles from their Micronesian homeland to the west. They take their name from a British sea captain, Thomas Gilbert, who explored the group of islands in 1788. The Gilbert Islands, 16 tiny atolls and a raised phosphate island, straddle the Equator just west of the International Dateline. For most of the twentieth century they were politically linked with the Polynesian islands just south of them, as the British Gilbert and Ellice Island Colony. In 1979, the Gilberts became the oceanic Republic of Kiribati (the local pronunciation of Gilberts).

Something tells me that none of the above factored into coming up with the name Bue Seas Resort, however.
