Re: *snort*
I work with a lady named Joy, and she's the complete opposite to her name. Also not very well liked.

Well, um.
I mean.
We are talking about names here and not people. No one expects Rose to be a rose. No one expects Minerva to be the goddess of wisdom. No one expects Frederick to rule with peace. I know a Joy who is perfectly charming.
We are talking about names and the vibes and implications of names, not the people attached to them. It doesn't REALLY matter if you're named Madison or Madeleine.

LOL I am sorry. My post seemed a bit snarky. :) I did not mean it that way.But I am thinking about this a lot lately. Everything we talk about on here completely doesn't matter IRL at all, it is naming art for the sake of naming art. KWIM? I like it for that actually. And I think attaching names to faces or qualities ruins the joy of naming. It is a lot easier to do this with word names than regular names and I think it is important to remind people.
