Help[Opinions] Re: Nausicaä
in reply to a message by Cayden
I stand by my statement and word usage. To me, scouring sources for scarcely used names in order to stand out, especially since there is no element of actual creative originality involved as they are purely derived from said sources, is something that strikes me as tiresome. Such scouring is a practice immediately recognizable to me after spending so much time on this board, where it is the norm.
Secondly, transparently using a name to stand out (deny it if you wish, but no one who would use Nausicaä is trying to blend in) from such a universally analyzed and common source is doubly tedious. I would describe this 'easy research' method of attempting to stand out as unimaginative (pedestrian). If one wants to stand out so much, why not actually use a name that not everyone (who has taken high school English) has come across and avoided, but one that actually piques some level of curiosity?
