Yeah, the connotation is different - one double meaning was a very rude insult, the other is a disease which has killed people. It's offensive in a whole different way, but that doesn't make it any less controversial.

Cancer as a name for a deadly disease is used not just in Australia and Britain, but across the English-speaking world. If anything, it'd be even more controversial. I don't think Backflip will be foolish enough to take the risk, especially when the dragon can't be renamed so easily as Scoria was.


 * Please note: I mean no offence to those born under the star sign of Cancer, which is Latin for crab... but while star signs are named in Latin, dragons are named in English.
