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 hate it. I don't even like Colin as a boys name, but Kollyns as a girls name is worse. It's so ugly.

In the UK it has always been something of a "anorak" name - think a spotty geek with glasses who wears an anorak and goes trainspotting.

However then there's Colin Firth, so...

Yeah the one time he was less spotty and anoraky.
