If you married an entomologist and get upset about that, it’s kinda on you.
literally nothing wrong with that it’s just a name
I wonder if they are aware that in Europe the Disney character is called Vaiana, because there is a porn star named Moana.
Thank you kind sir for the vintage research material.
Apparently there were legitimate trademark issues also at play. Apparently its an Ice cream brand in Romania and a perfume brand in Spain.
What’s wrong with bugs? They’re cool, while a made up string of characters (that sounds good) might be better I don’t see what’s wrong with using an uncommon scientific name. Then again being honest is likely helpful.

they give programmers nightmares
Pro level gaslighting
Because having a weird name makes you a target for bullying. Also the name of a loud and annoying beetle is worse.
In my experience having a common name has that effect too. I feel like every name has the potential for bullies to target it. Also this is only one subcategory of beetle (that most people likely don’t know) if I read it correctly.
Children do descend upon large amounts of sweets in the same way that insects do. That’s all I’m saying.
They buzz around too. Sometimes in swarms. They can be adorable and fuzzy, as well as annoying and gross. They can be vampires and drain your energy. They can be essential to our life/enviroment too.
I’d be mad if my child was named after a cicada instead of a cooler bug. If you name the child after something more dangerous they will be ready to dominate the playground. No toddler would have the courage to mess with a kid named Yellowjacket.
Time to bug out of this relationship.
I feel like if I could remove my connotations from the word, Cicada itself would be an awesome name.
Naming your child is serious business and both parents need to be fully informed.
