No. The discussion was to find just any name (hiding from the participants the fact that a name was already proposed, which is what I trying to point out here).

No. It was never used throughout the whole lifetime of this community, there's nothing associated with it. It comes from the laboratory and is sterile. No story.

That's plain wrong and you know it. I said:

Nothing against names other than Hildon in principle (I just said I liked Hildon). A lot against names that never appeared before in the history of the community.

To be honest, I didn't follow that particular episode of "Scandal on t.m.o." too closely. I spotted a few drama queens who hadn't read the rules before and complained afterwards... and lost interest after only a few days. Been there, done that.

I wonder why we voted for a council then in the fist place if we do the paperwork ourselves.

Anyway, call it Mildred or Vista, nobody will ever use it, will they. I'd only prefer people not pretending that "we need a name" when actually "we have a name, but I want a new one".
