Help[Opinions] Re: Do you think timeless names are overrated?
in reply to a message by Francisinfp5w4
You ask a lot of interesting questions, but they are usually so general that it's hard to answer them.
As to timeless names, well, some I like, some I don't, some feel overused or not-thought-out, some don't.
They are like the LBD: Little Black Dress. I personally think the LBD is vastly overrated and that it isn't flattering to everyone, and yet it's so ubiquitous that if you go to a dressing-up event wearing one, you won't be noticed for your classy/timeless choice of outfit because nearly all the women there will be wearing a black dress. This is all right if you want to play it safe and be unnoticed, or if you really like the LBD for its own sake and it looks good on you. But if you want to stand out, or the dress makes you look sickly because not every complexion looks good in black, or you just plain don't know what to do or are just wearing it because that's all you ever wear to these things ...
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
