I usually lurk in the Games section but can’t find anything I like.
I used to play games a lot, until the forum style changed. It’s harder for me to find my favorites anymore. I feel like I always see the same ones now.
What I actually see on the Quick [name_u]Poll[/name_u] Thread:
30 votes
Name X - 97% (29 votes)
Name Y - 3% (1 vote)
What my brain sees:
You idiot. You absolute and complete buffoon. Name X is clearly better and you are utterly moronic for not seeing that sooner. Stop wasting your time with Name Y because it will only rot your brain further. - 97% (29 votes)

For context, I’m American
I’m British and [name_f]Jemima[/name_f] really doesn’t have the negative associations at all that it does in the states. We don’t have that brand.

at some of the names we think are “newly discovered” over here in the states

Ahem … weird name in the dungeon!

I know! I get protective of my name because it’s pretty uncommon (for my age at least it’s getting a little more popular now) and I want it to stay that way! I like having that name that when somebody hears it for the first time they go “Oh I’ve never met an ___!”.

When I first heard that I thought it would be such a cool name for a horse

Me: [name_m]Hi[/name_m], can you please suggest some sibling names for X?
Responder: I don’t like X. Use Y instead.

or maybe someone is just making a ton of threads about a sibling to a child who hasn’t been born yet.

Me on the Sibsets You Know: Fictional Edition thread: If one more person uses the [name_u]Magic[/name_u] Treehouse siblings, Weasleys, or the dudes from [name_m]Peter[/name_m] [name_m]Pan[/name_m], I swear to God…
