[Opinions] Re: Irrational Reasons for Disliking Names?
I hate the name Amy because of a girl I knew a while back who basically ended up cyberstalking me until I had to quit social media for a year. Her name wasn't Amy, but it was the name of the character she used in her truly disturbing Harry Potter fanfic roleplays that she was always trying to make me a part of. So now the name Amy fills me with an irrational rage.

That reminds me A few years ago (a decade or more) my email address was used as a mass-marketing RP... thing? I don't know how to describe it. Basically I think one person who had got my email address from somewhere had put it in a list of Literally Hundreds of other people's emails advertising for RP partners for [insert a bunch of popular ships here]. I've never been into roleplay and I don't care if they enjoy it, but for years I had been stuck with these emails because the list of hundreds and hundreds of people - some decided to "reply all" and complain as they were in the same position as me, but some got the list and put it into another list and wash rinse repeat. It was infuriating.Hundreds of emails, blocking ineffective. I eventually tracked down the facebook profile of the person who started it and gave them a gobfull. I think they were a bit spooked that I found their real identity. Don't suppose they'll do that again? One would hope Stick to people who signed up ffs
