Help[Opinions] Re: That's totally different, though (m)

Wait, wait, wait.
Saronia is a name without any unnecessary letters and an intuitive pronunciation. Explain to me again how it is in any way comparable to McKin'zandraleigh.
So you don't like it. Fine. That doesn't mean that, objectively, it's a bad name. That means it's not to your tastes. If you want to bitch about made up names, bitch about the ones that suck--that really are difficult for the bearer due to confusing spellings or unintuitive pronunciations. In a world where most of the populace doesn't give a rat's ass whether Nancy and Hannah come from the same root, complaining that Saronia is stupid and made up and icky gross get it away from me Shakespeare didn't do it like that seems to me patently ridiculous.
(And before anyone's dander gets raised, that last bit's meant generally, not personally to you. ♥)
Array (take it to Manhattan, 'cause she doesn't want it)
