HelpRe: A pitch for my own - and what a Pitch! (Ha Ha Ha)
in reply to a message by Barbra
I'm sorry, you're not going to make people love your name by telling them why they should. I feel like I see you defending the name a lot and that indicates to me that you're still quite insecure about it. Learn to love your name completely and you won't feel the need to defend it to others.

I agree. Thought perhaps, apparently "He" is just giving background knowledge about the name. Either way, It's easy to see why so many people aren't too fond over it.

I could care less if folks like "my" name or the name Barbara; nor do I need folks to like me, although I have many friends. I am however protective for the feelings of others; other people have this name including children. I've been teased enough - if you can imagine--a guy with such a name--though still not so much, really to be callous to additional teasing; however, not everyone is strong- especially children, who might question their on names, and look upon the internet, and ascertain disparagement by the degradation. This has little to do with Barbara, but the defense of any name.
I can find beautiful value in a pile of dirt, as I can in the clouds. I love to see a name--or even an premise that I initially dislike for some trite reason, but then think further (or see an opinion of other folks, which I may not have considered,) and think differently. I have then learned a valuable lesson. My own trite and petty opinions are not more valuable than the feelings of another - especially those of a querying child. This has little to do with my name.

By all means, we'll change the name of the board from Name Opinions Board to Name Only Positive Opinions Please It's All Sweetness and Light Here Board, in deference to those poor defenseless children who don't have the reading comprehension level to even come here and those random strangers who might happen along and read someone say something really mean about their name and then go look for a rope to hang themselves with. Oh, the degradation!
You are still not getting this, are you?

And......
Nobody here thinks their opinion is more valuable than anyone else's.
Recognizing that all opinions are equal is not a reason to not have and express opinions.

A thought, word, name, or idea may be classified as an opinion, while it may, simultaneously, be classified differently - even legally in certain instances, countries, or cultures. It is a wide, wide, web in a wider wilder world in which we opine (ha ha). (Still, may bad - ...)
