I agree, don't join the club, it sounds at the very least annoying and also sketchy.

Molly used to be a nickname for Mary, I think

Still is, in some circles. My SIL is Mary/Molly.

Gargh, my Nemesis is being her usual self. She's been funneling work to a contractor that should go to me, which means I'm left out of the loop of what's going on with my own program. And then she had the gall to complain about being left out of the loop in a meeting with our boss last week. The hypocrisy, it burns.

I suspect I'm going to have to talk to the contractor, who seems friendly enough, but I don't want to get her caught up in our office politics, and it's not really fair to put it on her anyway. The ridiculous thing is that the contractor is, in fact, very busy, and I'm not. I could be doing the work, if my Nemesis would just give it to me.

Molly and Polly both were nicknames for Mary.

Senna takes me to a constipation/pooping place immediately.

Rue is also an herb.

The offshore QA tester has been sending his results to all the developers and the guy who usually project manages the regular releases. And the usual PM has been forwarding them to me. For, like, a week and a half. Finally, I ask other guy--why doesn't QA send them to me? "You didn't ask."

You are right. I am remiss in this. But, seriously, he's really good with forwarding to me for another week and a half? How is he not irritated enough to say "Man, leave me out of this. It's not my project."

I suspect a point is being made, and I might just ignore it as long as the email is in my inbox every morning. There are better ways to make that point.

So no one's heard of Ayrton Senna, I take it? That's far more likely to Me than "female Cinna" ridiculousness.

What would a male racecar driver's last name have to do with a female baby name, though?

I couldn't see how it was actually confined to female babies; plus there was a very successful documentary recently. What does Senna have to do with Cinna?

The nameberry page doesn't say anything about Cinna--I haven't worked out yet where that connection is being drawn, unless it's just pronunciation. It does mention Ayrton Senna, but not as the genesis of the name. Rather it calls it an Arabic floral name, talks about the herbal use, and mentions it appears in Twilight and Korra: [link] . I don't see why Ayrton would be a big part of the rationale here.

Wouldn't it be nice if a name entry told you when the name came into use--if not in general, at least in Western tradition? I can't work out if Senna has been an arabic name/flower name for centuries, but no one thought to name a girl that until 1930, or what. As the owner of the least-well-researched name (not counting my sister's), I think it's useful for context, if not the actual decision-making.

A lot of baby name books will tell you when the name first came into use, and when and where it was most popular.
