I see "pretentious" used often on the board, and I'd like a definition of it. Of course, I can go find the dictionary definition, but I don't think that would help me figure out what people mean when they use it to refer to a name. I really can't figure it out. I can't figure out what people are supposed to be "pretending" when they use certain names. I don't think---I'm not a hundred percent sure, but I don't think---that I've ever used it to describe a name. I don't really understand what it means.
