Honestly, I think you're out of line. Julia's comment was just ordinary. What's the point in taking offense at random? Either post names and live with people's opinions (it wasn't as if Julia hurled profanities at you) or don't post names, because it's subjecting them to scrutiny. "I could live with it" is a figure of speech, a well-known one that you yourself must know. As in, "I don't like it but I wouldn't lose sleep over it" :-/

I think you're missing the point here
"I could live with it" means that it wouldn't make me cringe if I saw it but it's not my favorite name. It's not a literal expression.

Honestly?
I could live with it came off as incredibly self-centered.
I could live with it does not impy that what you meant - and honestly, the wording is incorrect for what you wanted it to mean.
Julia: There is a nice way to say things. I learned, so should you. Heinous, horrible, and trashy are used to describe almost all names that don't fit into your very narrow criteria.
Try saying: I don't like Tabitha at all, not sure why instead of demeaning as a name that you hate with a passion!

Well, that's certainly not how I intended it to come off--I'm sorry you took it that way.
I recall us having had this conversation many, many times before, so I won't continue it now. I also didn't like your patronizing tone very much.

Ignore the typos/errors
I was in a hurry and am used to having spell check in my post.
