Help[Opinions] If you ask for an opinion ...
in reply to a message by Tippins
you'll get an opinion. Unfortunately, it may not be what you are looking for, it may not be necessarily helpful etc, but that doesn't make it any less valid. It sounds a bit like you only want to here the responses that suit your opinion.
As for the last bit about Octavia that is simply someone not reading the original post and, while annoying, has no bearing on the actual topic.

Sometimes I ask for an opinion.
And if I am asking for opinions on individual names, "can't get over the reindeer association" or "don't like the nerv in minerva" is totally valid, if annoying. But if I am saying something that requires a teensy bit of thinking such as "What do you think of these combos," "can't get over the reindeer association" is totally not relevant and totally annoying. I do not like the names Spencer and Hamilton, but when I am asked "Wdyt John Spencer and Jude Hamilton" I can say that I think the combos are good and solid. Obviously Diamante04's naming philosophy is different from mine.
If I respond to "Wdyt Jude Hamilton" with "dislike Hamilton because it's a surname and I don't think surnames should be used as given names," that is not relevant to her at all because she thinks it is okay to use Hamilton. She is not asking about my philosophy and I am not telling her anything about her combo.
Furthermore, if I respond to the question "Wdyt Spencer" and I say "I dislike it because it is a surname and I am against using surnames as given names," that is also completely unhelpful. Obviously she has considered that they are surnames and does not mind.
However, if I say something like "I do not like surnames as given names. However since you obv have no problem with it, Spencer is a good handsome sound and very workable and very good in the combo etc" that is a ton more relevant.
So when people say "nms reminds me of the reindeer" it pisses me off a bit. Obviously I have thought about it and would like them to think about it for a second. Is there anything else about it they dislike?
