Yahoo!Answers does NOT use the salutation "Hello Jesus Saves!" in their violation notices! Methinks you are a troll.

As others have said, chat (low-quality poll).
The major of name-twiddling questions are of no earthly use as information or advice, even to the asker.

your question was probably deleted for chat
YA is for asking questions that seek useful and usable knowledge, facts, and information, not to find out what people like or dislike
remove 'you' and 'your' from your questions and you should get reported less for chat
a knowledge seeking question: What is the #1 name for girls and the #1 name for boys?
- FemaleLotRfanLv 77 years ago
It was deleted as chat. All questions have to be knowledge seeking or advice seeking or in interest to others. The question would have been fine if you gave choices or added why.

because some people just like to think they are in control and turn others in for any small reason they can think of because they are mean and have nothing better to do!!!!!!!!!!; so sorry that happened to you.

Your question was a chatting violation. There are specific rules on this site that you and all other users agreed to follow. Those rules include the idea that any question must seek useful knowledge or information. Knowing what someone's #1 name for a boy or girl isn't useful. Essentially, you were playing the "name game", and that is not what the site is about. You might want to reread the rules and follow them a bit more closely to avoid that problem in the future.
