Well, I never said anything like: "Hmm, I don't really like that name..."
I just casually mentioned at one point "Why it?" As it didn't seem fully representative of the community as-a-whole, it was but one of other things I was addressing in the by-laws.
The problem was it had always been a tentative name by your own admissions, you even conceded it wasn't exactly decided via a wide-ranging consensus, hence you reluctantly (understandably) agreed to a thread/poll.
Had it been executed that way many months ago, maybe we wouldn't be having this problem, easy to say with hindsight of course

It's like being engaged to someone, setting up the wedding, walking down the isle, and the groom going "you know... I really wanted a blond, not a brunette. Can we dye your hair? What do you all think? Shouldn't I be able to marry a blonde?!" Now is not the time.... The time was before, or well after.
I love the humour though, I must admit, given me a few chuckles already....
Some (most?) of us don't live/breathe the governance side of things, + I've mostly dropped-off in frequency at TMO over the last several mths (too busy IRL).
And I'd like to stress again, I am very appreciative of all the work that those who are councillors (or will be) have done or will do.
It just would've been nice if there was a bit more responsiveness along the way, that would've saved a fair bit of confusion/drama.
