At best Bladesinger is not quite as bad, name-wise as PDK (the main problem is really the "Purple", it's so lame). But it's from the same book, has the same issue (if to a lesser degree) and is #1, rather than what, dead last?Maybe a more interesting point can be found with unpopular vs. least popular. When people are only picking one thing, it doesn't really matter if something is "unpopular" or not, if it's still the least popular. And whilst I doubt PDK is popular, you do get this thing - it happens with books, movies, even people, where people say that they like them, but, when it comes down to the picking, that kid is still last for your team. And so you can say "Well Timmy is a nice guy and everyone likes him, look I did a poll!" but when Timmy is picked last for dodgeball every single time, even though he is well-liked, you gotta look at why that is.Turns out Timmy has terrible reflexes and can't throw to save his life, and when it comes down to it, people pick everyone before him. He's a cool guy, but that's not good enough.PDK is the worse version of Timmy. Tarquin. He's got a stupid name (sorry Tarquins of the world...). He's not particularly popular. And on top of that, he's not at all good at dodgeball. That's why he gets picked last.</blockquote>
