Sorry, I don't wish to reopen the naming debate, but these really  
don't strike me as the ones closest to consensus (aside from being  
dreadful picks). I think there are a bunch of names that people don't  
like but can live with, these are just pure nonsense. I certainly  
know that while I would have dropped the ball on any number of bad  
options, if these stay in the draft I will request formal objection  
from my AC Rep.
