User blog comment:Watermint/Human names v. Country names (Wiki)/@comment-2004850-20100711212224

@Barlein - Yeah...I don't even think it has Swiss (or German) roots. Basch at least makes sense. Oh, and for people confused, it's pronounced "Bah-sch". I tend to stay away from the rabids. I don't mind Gildbird because it's cute, but then again, that one is totally a fanname XD

@Anon - First off, don't just collectively call people "Noobs". Unlike newbie, Noob has more negative connotations. Second, "I like them" or "I want them" isn't a valid argument.

I mean, I'd really like some actual reasoning as to why these names should be used. Why doesn't it matter that they aren't in use anywhere officially? Why doesn't it matter that Himaruya isn't making them? Why doesn't it matter that their most common and official name is, in fact, their country name?
