let me preface this by explaining the Almond Eye fallacy (or paradox, or whatever, i dunno how these are called)

to explain Almond Eye is an excellent race horse so everything you think about almond eye gets painted with the "Strong horse" association.

if i were to rate Almond Eye i would rate her 10/10 because of the already made "strong horse" connotation even though the name can be also rated a 6/10 -- usable, but not very unique (average adjective + noun)

to sum it up: "Almond Eye is memorable, because everyone knows Almond Eye, and Almond Eye is a strong name because Almond eye is a strong horse"

Almond eye makes you think of the horse, rather than the name -- making it hard to differentiate bias

same goes for

ROBERTO

-although Robert may be a common white guy name™ the O makes it stand out a bit more

-rolls of the tounge

-quick oneword name

6 - 8/10

2 ? getting bold now aren't we, i'm going to add Helios Express into the mix cuz i like Helios Express

ROMANTIC WARRIOR

-really poetic choice of words

-good pronunciation

-quite lengthy

6.5/10

KA YING RISING

-RISING?

-RISING UP THE CHARTS

-RISING UP ON THE OUTSIDE CORNER

-NO SHI HE HAS STARS ON HIS UNIFORM MF IS A RISING STAR

10/10

HELIOS EXPRESS

-referencing THE SUN

-memorable

-overall a very drawable name

8.5/10

I have fucked up y'all. All thanks to my poor research.

i originally assumed the name to be a rather objectifying one. (due to shiso sounding like she's so, and spicy being a modern slang term)

I have been called out and informed that Shiso is and herb and is infact used in spicy drinks. therefore making my whole point dare i say useless, for i missed the entire point of the name.

i don't know if the person who called me out on my bullshit wants to be attached to this but i'll link their post if they want to

i will research further so any mistakes like these won't happen moving on further

ZENYATTA

-IT'S QUICK (1 word, 3 syllables)

-IT'S EASY (to pronounce)

-AND IT'S FREE (recognizable)

-need i say more

so basically this? i can imagine the owner intentionally putting them in the same races

FORCE FEM/MASC

-a very if-you-know-you-know name

-for those who don't know:

-force works for that power the name can imply

-masc/fem can work? it's an odd thing to add

GUN RUNNER

-confuses me so much :

Is he running with the gun?

Is the horse running alongside the gun?

Is the horse the gun?

-gun and run rhyme making it a nice tune

LION HEARTSTRINGS

-how do you manage to make a name feel long just with 4 syllables

-"strings" doesn't really roll off the toungue

-good concept

-Lion Heart / Heartstrings work perfectly fine, Lion Heartstrings just missed the mark
