What is up with people and IGNs?

Seriously, it's kinda ridiculous. Why dislike one word adjective/gerund/verb/adverb/whatever IGN's? If you don't like it, so what. It's not your name so why is it a problem? So what people make names such as "xXNarutoXx" or "iShootGuns" or "MispiacedL" or "JVLaple2343434" or "D3xLesSxS1N". Why do you have a problem with people choosing IGN's like that? It's what that person wants to go by, let them be. It's their name not yours. They do what they want, and what they like. Leave them alone -_- it's just an IGN.

And for people asking for IGN rates... why? If you like it, it's fine. 90% of people here are probably going to criticize it for one of the above reasons.

I can never think of good IGNs, so I go with random ones. The only kind of IGNs I don't really like are those that I can never remember, like "asdasfgadf".

It's not like people are going out of their way to hate on certain igns. There's sometimes a thread asking "What IGNs do you dislike?" and people post what igns they dislike.

I find the "[noun]ingly" or "[verb]ingly" igns dumb because they're not words and the person is trying way too hard to have a one word ign. And igns like "D3xLesSxS1N" are annoying to type.

I and anyone can dislike what we please as long as we're not forcing our view on others. But if someone asks for our view, we're usually inclined to give it.

@toid:
No I am not butthurt, i just want to attempt to understand the people that do these types of things. By creating a thread like this I hope to get the people that do to come shed light on why they do what they do.

Outside of the people that ask for it, why do people dislike other names like I stated above.
As for the people saying those who ask deserve it, you are taking this the wrong way : If you read the last sentence I'm questioning the people asking for the name rates and why they do it, those people deserve it. I'm asking why do people hate the other types of IGN's.

@HKittyZ:
I have seen so many people on rate my IGN threads saying
"no one word adjective, good"
"its not 'xXNaruto123xX, good"
"No i's for L's or vice versa, good"
It has clearly been a problem before me saying this.

@fruitfullness:
If you knew what the phobic/phillic names meant you'd understand they ALL are related to the class. I have an obsession with phobias and I know what a lot of them mean thank you very much.
Macrophobic-Afraid of long waits. F/P mage, waiting for DoT's, get it?
Kryophobic-Afraid of ice/cold, I/L mage. Do you understand that one?

well you can't blame them for not being original (no numbers, x's, lowercase i's in front) when 99.9% of real names are taken

Why can't you spend 5 minutes making a decent IGN?

It only bothers me because I'd rather type "/whisper Lovely" than "/whisper L0v3Iy".

And [i]why do you have a problem with people judging others' igns? It's what that person wants to do, let them be. They do what they want, and what they like. Leave them alone.[/i]

My opinion is that people think those are names are aesthetically unpleasing when he/she is looking at them, no matter how brief the sight.
