What, pray tell, are you using as the definition of what is or is not a name? You appear to be saying something has to be a common name to be a name, which opens the question of how new common names ever come about.
I'm sure you're not saying that everyone that chose unconventional names that became conventional for your lifetime and peer group chose "names" and everyone else that chose unconventional names chose the "stupid(est) names" due to "brain damage"...but I struggle to make sense of what you said in any other way.

So what am I missing?
