I’d also like to add: while receiving feedback through polls and comments is enjoyable, ultimately, it's up to me to decide if I like a name or not, and my reasoning behind it is valid. It's okay to appreciate an idea even if it doesn't get much feedback or if the feedback is negative. Validation is nice, but being confident in your own preferences and saying "I like what I like!" is important. For instance, I often receive less feedback on my polls with more pompous, eccentric, or frilly choices, but that's fine. There will be times in life when people may not notice or validate your hard work, but it's important to recognize your own effort and validate it yourself. In all areas of life—whether in the arts, at work, or elsewhere—the extent of recognition is not a reflection of your effort or the worth of your project. That's just mental health worker me's input.

When did you post them? Mine usually get to between 30-35 votes on average but it takes a few days. It's also polite in turn to make sure to vote for other people's too if you're putting poles out there. You scratch my back I'll scratch your back so to speak lol. Just because they're on the second page doesn't mean people aren't going through them eventually. I usually try to go through as many as I can when I'm on besides the joking, off-topic, or inappropriate polls. Those I almost always skip.

I go to page 2 or 3, if i haven't voted in them

I vote for polls on pages 2 and 3.

I get it. When you put a lot of work and effort into something and get less credit than expected it doesn't feel too nice. But this is really just the internet, as much of a community it seems. What others do isn't a representation of your effort. Don't let it be. Try to have fun and enjoy yourself. Have a nice day lol :)
