"I'll personally take the most boring, bland real name over a made-up one."
That attitude is shared by many, and I always find it quite sad. Truly. I'm not trying to single you out, but you worded it pretty strongly. How dull a world would this be? Every name was "made up" at some point. I'm very thankful not everyone feels the way you do. Shakespeare, for example, made up many beautiful names we now take for granted as being "real."
Whatever "real" means.
