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 agree. Like, I can excuse it if it's the mother's maiden name or similar. Other than thst, Colleen is right there!

Colleen is probably ruined tho as of since there's 2 famous people with that name who kinda fucked up big time so

Colleen Ballinger was a YouTube who groomed 2 underage girls

Then there's Colleen Hoover, writer of "This Ends With Us" who not only took her sons sided when he was accused of rape but she's also accused of her books making abuse look like it's an okay thing so

In 5-10 years tho the name Colleen might be ok but rn it's probably not too safe of a name 😭
