People put down names all the time... on naming websites. It's ok to dislike a name on here.

Thank you for saying that! I am probably overly sensitive but I looked up my little ones name just to see what it said and was sad at anything negative. I appreciate you responding so kindly.

I'm sorry. I have actually quite liked the name lately and wasn't thinking clearly when I wrote that. Obviously I did not exercise restrain. I really was a bully, looking back at the things I wrote years ago and thanks to people like you, I have learned my lesson about writig such things.

Well, we named our son Brown and its sad to me that you would actually take the time to write out how awful you think that is! Wow! We happen to love it. It sounds bold and strong and wise to me. And he's an amazing kid with a unique name. Restraint is best when overcome with the desire to put down someone's name. That is what children do.
