Your points are understood, it's just that childish points are not helping.

Sarcasm again I suppose? Anyway, I would definitely prefer having a
name the users choose among some nice alternatives (including the ones
what the people here want) instead of you guys fighting unnecessarily
over getting your name accepted, therefore losing time and nerves in
doing so. It would at least serve to prevent the fighting here if
nothing else, which is my real concern (rather than *what* the name
is).
