I was wondering what peoples thoughts were on what I regard as 'silly names' for an aquascape?

I suppose Mr. Amano started this trend off, though it seems to me that these names come from a particular inspiration; a case study or a habitat (in his case).

Though for many it seems, these names are made up for the sake of naming, without explanation or even inspiration, and as a product of a finished piece, NOT from the original intent.

I think these 'silly names' often undermine the skill and creativity put into a setup. Like in architecture, not every building is named. Did u name your house too?

Just my opinion, what do you think?
