For some reason they just scream “wuss” to me. I cringe whenever they are recommended.

Why this negative thread? To hurt new parents?

I really have a strong dislike for the name Molly. I discovered it when my aunt named her child this when I was a tween. I love my cousin, but her name is just awful.

We have a friend named Afrodesia. It's a theophoric name, like Demitrius or Martin or Hermione or Isidora. It's not all that common, but it's a name that originally would have invoked the goddess Aphrodite. The realtor's spelling is definitely kre8iv, but the name itself is unusual, not recently invented.
