Nowhere in this mapset is the name Alexa related to any sort of username on osu!. Also, the Ranking Criteria explicitely says that the difficulty name must be appropriate. Well, "appropriate" isn't specified, so it doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be related to the song. I don't see why this difficulty name is an issue.

In my opinion this diff name should be kept the way it is. This is meant as a sweet gesture and it is in no way an offensive or inappropriate name for a difficulty. Things like these make the osu! community better 
Hello. Unfortunately, I have to unrank your map for the reason many users have pointed out already: inappropriate difficulty name ("For My Alexa"). It could work better if the name indicated difficulty in any way or wasn't only a tribute or dedication to the person, mentioning nothing but her name. You may use a storyboard to show your devotion, but difficulty name is a no-no.

- 00:57:675 (2) - mapped to no sound and should appear 1/4 earlier
Combo colour 3 blends with the background. I'd also like to mod the map before it moves any further to rank
wow I didnt know naming a diff by someone's name or a specific name that has zero relevance to the song is rankable nowadays

Just to clear something up from the unrank post:
If you dedicate a diff or mapset to someone, use the MAP DESCRIPTION or make a StoryBoard. If the map is a Collab just name it Collab. If you want to include "Alexa" in the diff name at least use something creative that relates to the song OR the diff. But I doubt the nature of the song and the intention of your diff name fit each other...
We don't discourage creative difficulty names but to show your affection by naming the highest diff of your set is completely out of control.

osu! in a nutshell
3rd combocolor still blends with the background and it can be a reason for new unqualification, make it brighter please.
[Extra For My Alexandra]
00:23:008 (2) - consider replacing it with two circles because of strong beat here 00:23:175 -, it feels not that good rhythmically because with slider end you're lefting start of the musical changes unclickable
00:24:008 (7) - NC should be here because of obvious reasons
00:26:342 (4) - again it feels much better as two circles because of strong beat
00:29:008 (4) - same here
01:07:175 (3) - it feels really off because you skips strong beat at the white tick it should be mapped
01:08:508 (3) - something like this will be more closer to music
01:11:342 (5,6) - well, i can hear 1/4s here, what's about triplet?
02:04:001 (1,2) - not a big fan of these because of unclickable downbeat, this will be more enjoyable to play tho

orz my bad... anyways good luck Kyshiro.
I hate to keep doing this, but I honestly don't think the new difficulty name is very good, either. I understand that you wish to dedicate this to someone for something. But why? I feel the reason you provided isn't a big milestone to begin with. It's as if you're doing it just because you were forced to compromise. But rather than being creative, you did the opposite and just tacked a word on to the start to make it suddenly "rankable" without putting much thought into it.
I say this knowing that this post is likely to get wastelanded, but I'd just like to reiterate, "there's a certain irony in dedicating a song called end time to the person you love."
I'm honestly not doing this to be a dick(anymore), but rather, I'm curious of your logic behind this ordeal.

however i still don't get it, why do you have to show your affection in a difficulty? take her out, show her/him affection, not naming a difficulty after her/him
i drop my case though, it's up to the bats not me

Congrats for qualification!
Disappointed that it was reranked so quickly without a second thought, but whatever.

Would be weird to name all diffs like this, and apart from that, I made the extra diff first, which was a present for her, which wasnt even supposed to be uploaded, later decided to make a full mapset out of it. Hope that kind of clears it up a bit. It has a special meaning behind itLoctav wrote:

why is it so needed to absolutely have this difficulty named after your girlfriend plus make several pages long of discussion?

The diff name slot is there to creatively relate to the song, the source or elements of it. This usage of custom difficulty names is not intended by the game design and therefore is a pile of crap. Like p3n said, you can put a fancy storyboard or bake her a cake instead, but the difficulty name is not the field in the metadata, where you put this message.
I probably will get someone to unqualify it.
Who gives a fck
The map is cool
The diff name does indicate the difficulty
No problems

Almost all my maps are love songs dedicated to someone. I don't have anything of the sort. How about putting your love and affection to somewhere that won't stir the bucket up?
Or rather, putting it somewhere that matters.

Wasn't the diff name rule added because the star system sucked anyway? Really makes me laugh how enforced it is when the system now accurately shows difficultyCDFA wrote:
jesus christ stop the presses we can have shit maps that get through no problem but oh god if a diff name isn't named properly everyone stop what they're doing, this is the most important issue
This situation is hilarious.
Ehh I see what CDFA's getting at, considering how the current star rating system does a pretty darn good job at sorting maps by difficulty already, the names start to lose relevance at determining how difficult a map truly is.

Oh, come on. If we have a hard time to kick down the questionable unqualifications that require a quite difficult reasoning already, I do not know why we should hesitate to do the easy ones.
