I know that no one else would rate most of my domain names, but I don't rate many that seem to be rated by others. Take some of those lists posted on here by helpful domainers - I just can't see the names as being as good as the comments on them imply. I'm also getting email lists sent every day saying that the first to claim a domain at X amount gets it, as if we were in a goldrush or something. I gaze at these lists, wondering who would want to buy those names at this (or any) price.
So of course it's subjective, but then the subjectivity of an experienced domainer must be worth more than the subjectivity of someone like me, who doesn't know what's good in domaining terms, but only what she likes. Still, I don't want to spend my money on what someone else sees as good unless I can see it for myself also. I suppose it's that lone, defiant spirit of enterprise in some of us - we'd rather fail on our own terms than succeed on someone else's. But perhaps it's no harm. It's claimed that the road behind all successful businesses is littered with early failures. I think I'm living up to this.
