[Opinions] Re: Merrow?
You are not an idiot in any way, and no name is ever unusable. If I dislike a name, my own "dislike" reflects more on my petty associations and trite opinions than the name itself, which is objectively innocent. Names and words bear numerous definitions, connotations, and heritage--because people assign these values and retain them, not only positive associations, but also negative as well; and some of which are collectively or popularly known to greater or lesser degrees, among various folks, while some associations are little known & retained by few or one. I love when I learn to favor a name which I previously could not find positive value, including that of my own.If this helps, I got my keister kicked here in public, on this site at the fights, a few weeks prior for decrying negative comments about names--on a pitch for my own, wondering whether I'd be "called nick-names" again, now that I am in my forties. Some folks would rather pounce upon a name, rather than get "Behind the Name", so try not to put too much value in pettiness.

I hope that you continue to post your thoughts and ideas here - because we all learn from them.
