I'm with you. I can't deal with the name. I also don't like the things anyway, I don't think they suit the climate or the architecture but I know plenty of people do.
But also - when did they become 'plantation shutters'? Maybe I'm behind the times but I don't think I heard it until about 2 years ago. Before that I would've just called them louvred shutters or slatted shutters. So that just makes the trend for them, and calling them plantation shutters, worse for me.

Again, they're not called that though, are they? Whatever I call them, they'll still be widely known as "plantation", explicitly named after the exact type of plantation that was just described above. For that reason, I'm out. I've not said to boycott shutter suppliers, I've not told anyone here they shouldn't have them.
