I'm a pretty big Transformers fan, so sometimes I visit Transformers forums. There was a thread from one guy who said his wife gave him permission to let his first child's middle name be a name from Transformers. He was asking which one he should go for (like Prime or something).
The graaaaand majority of the responses were "Please don't do that to the poor kid. If you must, give him a decent name that could be anything, like Magnus".
So this case isn't quite that extreme but I don't think it hurts to give your opinion in a thread asking for them. It really is like a shopping scenario. "red one or blue one" "mmm...neither". If you're set on your decision to get either the red or blue one, then simply ignore the opinion. If a ton of people say "neither", maybe take it into account that your decision isn't universally popular, but don't let it stop you. Let them cringe when they see you wearing said red or blue shirt. Everyone else can admire. Unless you're naming a kid after a show about alien robots.
That said, yeah, I gotta agree, don't get one. If you're gonna, I'd say find something not so blatant that can last into old age.
Ooh! Get a three headed monkey on your back. That way it'll always be behind you.
