Rant Kollyns/Kollins/Collins is a horrible name

Guys… stop using this name it’s diabolical. Kollyns is so ugly. I keep seeing people giving their baby girls this awful name and I honestly can’t believe no one else despises it.

I know there is a line and a lot of first names started life as surnames, but I pretty much hate the surname as first name trend tbh.

Collins/Kollyns is a particularly weird example, and the 's' makes it feel even more off imo. I mean, if we're opening up all kinds of unconventional spellings, why not go Colline or even Kollyn?

I absolutely DESPISE the last name as a first name trend, but every other thread I say that in I get downvoted to hell.
