[Opinions] Re: Rosemary
I watched one of her videos (something about Christmas presents). It was recommended to me because the youtube algorithm is nuts (I always get stuff about horses recommended too even though I don't have a particular interest in them and family vloggers which I despise) and before I realized that the recommendations don't match my interests I watched them sometimes to see what they were about. I watched that video ages ago (I think almost two years ago?) and I still remember the names because they were unusual and stuck with me but I still wouldn't want a name associated with her.I also sometimes look up teen-mom and vlogger baby names to see what they used even though I don't watch them/the show because I want to know what to avoid. The names often become extemely popular and fad-like in a short time which is something I want to stay away from.The weirdest youtube recommendations I ever got were several videos in which a 20-something woman pretends her baby doll is her child and makes her dinner etc.And I know they are supposed to be based on your like/dislikes, watch history etc. but it doesn't work out for me at all. I am interested in cooking, recipes, dogs, sleep stories, study youtubers and Japanese language channels but I always get family vloggers and something about the royal family and Boris Johnson :(Please rate my list: https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/6232

I see! I hadn't imagined a name could get stained from one video, but I suppose it happens!Youtube algorithms, man...

Unfortunately it did spoil the names for me quiete a bit even though it is most likely because I know no other Acacias or Rosemarys. If they had been named Caitlin and Sarah or something it wouldn't have bothered me. Still, there is a chance of me liking them again if I meet a great Acacia, for example.I have this problem in general, I once named two Sims characters Melody and Cecily (which I both loved at the time) and the characters were so annoying that the names started bothering me after a while hahaha so I never give Sims favorites of mine anymore (haven't played the game in quite some time).
