My opinion of a name can change if a person I like bears it. When I heard that my niece was going to be Sally, I asked my brother why they chose that name. I hated it, and I thought they could do a lot better. After she was born, I started to like it and now I can't imagine her being named anything else. The other names they considered for her before she was born- Lucy, Dorothy, Eleanor- don't suit her the way Sally does. And I grew to appreciate the bright, sunny nature of Sally itself. So, yeah, my opinion can change if I like/love someone with a name I hate. I think it's all about putting a face to a name and not having the name floating all by itself.
