This.
When I first posted on name boards, I got upset about people "trashing" my favorite names. But I got over it (I wouldn't still be here if I hadn't). Actually, once I stopped taking it personally, opinions like that proved useful. Sometimes it would put me off a name, other times I just had to love the name all the more. If I loved it despite knowing others opinions, the name fit *me* well.
