Re: what's wrong with this twinset?
in reply to a message by Prongs
This has many parts.
First of all, a poll doesn't truly express feelings. Respondants had a limited set of options to pick. Maybe they don't truly loathe the names/set with the passion your given answer implies, but they would have rathered select that one than pick a more median answer that implied consent of the set.
Therefore, your defensive tone is unwarranted. Don't come in here asking what's wrong with the set and citing the wording of the answer as justification when YOU are the one who supplied said wording.
That being said, personally, I wouldn't go near that set, and that's my wording. I dislike the name Raven immensely. Unless you're a 13 year old girl who reads too much Poe and wants to rebel, there's no reason for that to be a name. Kestrel has an unpleasant sound, and before I checked, I would have taken it for a male. The only good thing this set has going for it is that to most people, the theme isn't obvious. That's a marginally saving grace, though, as I don't like twin themes anyway.
