HelpRe: "Tryndee" and name nerds
in reply to a message by Buneary
I might point out that the terms chav and (totally just forgot the other term) are culturally specific to the UK. So I, though I consider myself a namenerd, would never use them.
I also think it's a stretch to say that not liking modern names is a blanket characteristic of namenerds. It it's really only a few outspoken few (as you say purists) that feel that way.
I happen to appreciate older and more established names but don't consider them better. I actually love the idea that people are naming for the meaning again.
To be honest I am more interested in naming traditions than names.
It's true that creative names sometimes really bother me but those are usually ones that have totally unnecessary spelling alterations that make them confusing, not from a sense of superiority in classic naming versus modern naming.
Just remember that everyone has their own opinion, and even if that opinion annoys others it is theirs to have.
