Help[Opinions] Re: Name ratings: Mohammed, Allah, Adolf, Donald
in reply to a message by Mike C
Thank you for making sure that the ratings more accurately reflect popular opinion. Out of curiosity, which less controversial names were also targeted?
Allah has a pretty sound, but since it is the name for God in Islam, it isn't generally used as a name in Islamic families. I would expect "God" to also have a low rating as a name, not because people necessarily dislike the deity, but because they don't think it should be used as a name.

Many traditional and recently-popular English names. There was no real pattern of which names were voted up, which down. I guess it's only natural to want your favourite name to be positively rated, but it takes the fun out of it when one person gets to vote dozens of times.
I have more of a problem with an individual or small coordinated group of individuals trying to manipulate the ratings for political, racial or religious reasons.
