FWIW this seems reasonable to me now, I have a hunch that if someone is not happy about their favorite name being removed it may not matter if it occurs before or after voting...
Speaking from experience, it does matter: they are usually more pissed if their favorite name wins the vote *and* gets removed.
My take was we had the opposite experience the last time around. There were more people upset about the pre-filtering that happened. I think really, no one is going to be happy if the name they like best is removed, whether before or after. I'm hoping we have a clear enough preference here that that doesn't become an issue.
