I'm not a troll (m)
in reply to a message by RoxStar
I'm a name enthusiast. Everyone's entitled to love the names they love, but I do feel compelled to respond to your relentless laceration of any name that's remotely unusual. If you're comfortable issuing such scathing remarks, you should be equipped to tolerate pushback.

Maybe you're referring to something RoxStar does specifically (idk, I almost never pay attention to who posts what) but I don't think anyone's hating on Irma just for being unusual. It has a nasally sound that most people find ugly. If you don't like the sound of a name you wouldn't like it more if it was more popular.
Here's the thing: You shouldn't feel "compelled to respond". There is no need for "pushback" simply for the sake of "pushback". There is no arguing with an opinion. Sure, once in a while, someone might have something useful to say in response to an opinion, such as "I don't see it as X, I see it as Y because of Z". That adds to the conversation. But "I'm going to counter with what I think is bad" adds nothing to the conversation. If we all felt ""compelled to respond" to every differing opinion we see here, every post would generate a miles long thread which would eventually degenerate into "You're wrong" and "No, I'm right and you're wrong".
