Re: 25 Rules and Most Hated Names of 2011
in reply to a message by jemis
I never would have thought of no. 4, but yes, you do not want a bad email address.
They are all good things to consider, and following all of them could be difficult, but no. 25 is very true. Someone is going to disagree with your choice. I remember on one thread here someone' image of a Bunny is a stripper, but mine was playing tennis at the country club with Muffin- very different images.
I disagree with a lot of the girls' names on the hated list- to me, being too common doesn't make me hate them, just less likely to use them. But the boys' list has all of the names I'm sick of. Tristan isn't that bad (I named a character this), and I haven't met a new Michael in a long time. It might be boring, but there's far worse.
