    I've never understood this.  Maybe I just have a good memory.

    Hey, I think Freudian Trio would be much better. But I'm just a reader now. :-)

    Probably my favorite rename so far was "Reverse Blade Sword" to "Set Swords To Stun".  Turtle, if you want to see things not being renamed, I suggest you invent a time machine and go back and prevent bad names from forming.

    I like turtles.
    The ratio of tropes that have been renamed to tropes that needed to be renamed is not large.

    Of course, my definition of "bad" is probably the opposite of yours.

    Character-naming is not bad.
    Referencing works is not bad.

    I'm sorry, but reading the thread title made me think:

    "This just got renamed by SAXTON HALE!"

    Yes, that's opposite of my own.  There's also "any name that requires a knowledge of a work is bad" and "any name that is easily confused with others is bad".
