First off, I'm absolutely thrilled to hear you're writing original slash -- and with baseball players to boot! That's just all kinds of awesome, I can't wait to read it ♡
Now, as for the poll:
Maybe it was your intention, but almost all of the names are very trendy and popular (except for a few that sounded very Bible-inspired). Maybe it's just a personal quirk of mine, but when I write original stories I want my characters to have unique names -- names that have some sort of significance even. But, like I said, perhaps that is what you're going for; if you're writing a young, hip, and trendy kinda guy it kinda would make sense to give him a name like that! Just, for the love of all that's holy, don't name him Aaron. That's the name of my one and only ex and aargh, 'nuff said *grimaces*
Loved all your names for the baseball team, but in the end I went with Flames. The pun on that one is just too good to pass up ;D
I haven't even taken one look at the various LJ alternatives, so I have no idea...
Right now, my favorite Little Black Dress would have to be Robin, from BBC's new Robin Hood series. I don't know if you've seen it, but he damn well goes with everyone.
