    I feel the concern lies in the glorification, and the name simply has little to no effect on the glorification.

    If you were to name the killer something dumb and stupid, it may make people not take the killer and the victims seriously. I mean, imagine how that conversation would go:
    [Other] Wow, I heard you were attacked last week; even hospitalized! Are you okay?

    [Victim] Yeah, it was real traumatizing though...

    [Other] Did they find out who did it?

    [Victim] They think it might be the Stupid Shitty Butthead.

    [Other] LOL, that's so funny. You've got to be joking!

    [Victim] *feels invalidated*

    So, I feel a better way to make serial killers un-glorified is to just talk about how bad and terrible the killers are.

    Alas, there will always be someone that glorifies killers. It's inevitable. But there are ways that we can eliminate some of that. [See paragraph above]

      A lot of murderers end up on the dating scene while incarcerated

      Chap. That's a good point.
      I've never thought about it that way before.
