So like a hippie/blingy name. I could see that.

I just don't like the sound of it, so I like picking on the 'expensive' thing ...
Trying to explain ... not that you care ... The names that irritate me a lot are often names that I *could* like, for the impressions they give me - except something about the sound of them bothers me. Ruby and Sage are kinda in that category, too, but they're not as irritating as Saffron is, to me. I think Ruby and Sage are a little tacky sounding too - but, tacky isn't meant as a put-down, per se. I really like a lot of names I would say are tacky, that could be in the same category. It's like an 'aesthetic' to me. I like using tacky to describe names I don't like, because when a name irritates me, I'm imagining that someone else really thinks they sound rich or rare. I want to say, 'nuh uh, they don't!' But, that's not really why I don't like them. I think I say it because I'm hoping to get someone who likes a name that irritates me, to reconsider. Kinda evil of me, I guess.
