    You’re policing what makes a “good” name, which is just such a dumb thing to do. Like being style police.

    We’re not talking about naming kids after monstrous acts, we’re talking about adding a couple extra letters to their name. Get a grip.

      And being style police is completely and utterly useless, and serves no purpose.

      Just like telling other people that they’re bad at fashion, or simply don’t understand style.

      My point with that example was to illustrate that you have a clever name, be a very shitty name simultaneously. Much like changing the i in brian, to a y, or vice versa, depending on how you feel. it’s all useless.

        Youre not getting it. There is no arbiter of what makes a shitty names and if there was you’re not it.

        You think names like Bryan are shitty, where they think names like Brian or John are shitty.

        Who is right? Nobody or everyone. You’re not making a point, you’re complaining about the taste of someone you know nothing about.

          you keep arguing with me like i think im the arbiter of names. I’m not, i just think it’s funny, like most of the english language.

          Did you know that that specific structure of text that i just used is a grammatically correct method of using words in the english language?

          Although i suppose with your username, i shouldn’t be surprised should i.
