I see a lot of users call some names their ‘guilty pleasure names’ that I honestly don’t think are guilty at all ([name_f]Vera[/name_f], [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_m]Donald[/name_m], [name_f]Cosima[/name_f], [name_f]Ayanna[/name_f], [name_m]Marius[/name_m], [name_m]Edmund[/name_m], etc). That, or they could at least be pardoned given the correct first name or middle name, or spelling change (i.e. [name_u]Jadon[/name_u] [name_m]Nathaniel[/name_m]), or perhaps there is a similar solution (i.e. Rook instead of Nightingale, [name_f]Temperance[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Tempest[/name_f]).
I thought this would be a fun way to decide if a name is a guilty pleasure, or not, if there’s a grey area, or if we can find an alternative solution. You can give your opinions on how a defendant name can be used, altered, or thrown into a pit of fire, and then / or you can list your GPs that you want to stand trial.
So permit your GP names a fair trial! ;D
Here are mine to start off:
[name_f]Pandora[/name_f]
[name_f]Antoinette[/name_f]
[name_f]Venice[/name_f]
Rusalka
[name_f]Antonietta[/name_f]
