Help[Opinions] I don't find it disturbing [m]
in reply to a message by Pink Princess
In General:
I don't see any differene then using name(s) from anything else a person likes (movies, authors, music, et). I don't see why people need to use "dumb" or "stupid" to describe something someone really likes whatever it may be. I think you can say what you need to say about the subject even being blunt about it, but in a tactful way. You don't need to go out of your way to be harsh to someone's tastes just because one doesn't like it (IMO). This is a huge pet peeve of mine.
The person might like Buffy the Vampire Slayer what's so bad or wrong about that? The parents might be a Buffy fan then again thy might not be that's just my two cents on the overall subject.
About the Name:
I like the name Buffy I'd never use it in general, but as a NN it's cute. Willow makes a nice middle name but it's way overused.

I never called anyone dumb or stupid. I just find the name combo to not be to my taste and I find it tacky in all honesty. It's because of the Buffy association really, not that the show was bad, I just wouldn't name a child of mine after two characters from a tv show that was way before their time.
