I actually do value tasteful creativity with names (modified spellings and new inventions) higher than the ability to scour for established rarities (maybe a skill, but less a talent). An example would be Tolkien, who was a brilliant inventor with names. It is difficult not to be tacky, but the ability to create a tasteful non-derivative name is something I view as a celestial gift.

Expressing my opinion toward a name or naming tendency should not be taken as me looking down on someone. If I found someone truly abhorrent, I would not bother replying to their threads at all.
