I'm not saying it's invalid, how about that? :-)

Ultimately, I think it's like a nickname.  You generally don't get to  
pick your own nickname and, whether you like it or not, once you have  
one it sticks to you like glue for the rest of your life.

We're still just in that awkward phase where nobody has found a  
nickname that really applies to the extent where everyone goes "Yes!   
That's it!" and then continues to use that name regardless of what the  
Powers That Be attempt to call it.
