[Opinions] Re: Midnightblue
in reply to a message by Akua Topaz
It seems so shallow. I feel about it the same as I feel about Moxie or Dweezil or Audio Science, "I'm Special!" names. Since it is just the name of a color, one that has basically no symbolism except maybe a connotation of romance and mystery, it seems superficial to me. Like a trademark - you know, for marketing? Like a band name. Something that is supposed to grab your attention and make you associate an image, and sets an expectation. I know all names are like that a little bit, but Midnightblue bludgeons me with it. I guess since the woman herself has the right personality, it isn't annoying, but I don't like the name itself anyway.

I see what you're saying, definitely. In all actuality I'd never name my child something quite as out-there as Midnightblue, and it does come across as sort of attention-seeking to me as well. But I just think it's so neat to see someone with such an unusual name, even if it's a subpar one.
