Or you could choose some obscure saint name such as Cloud.

Obscure saints' names are fine.  But what we have today, even though I don't think anyone is actually sitting down and going through this process, looks like the parents are thinking, even implicitly, "whatever name we choose, it can't be a saint's name, no way".

I have to imagine there are some Protestants who dislike the idea of giving their children names not from the Bible.  Of course, in their case, they wouldn't be interested in names from the history of the Church past the biblical era.  Better biblical names than names that have no connection whatsoever to the Faith.  I had a distant many-greats-grandmother whose name was Kerenhappuch (from the KJV Book of Job).  I had to look that one up.  (The Douay renders the name as Cornustubil.  I don't know which one is worse.)

1. Mary 
Mary is an anglicized name of Hebrew or Egyptian origin, and it reportedly means "drop of the sea," "bitter" or "beloved," according to Nameberry.
The name has biblical ties, and it makes an appearance in the Christian New Testament, according to Nameberry.

The man should have been more firm in these matters from the getgo. The fact that he had to go to reddit for advice tells me this. Sure seeking counsel is wise but it also reflects the current lack of authority and 'guts' this man has over his spouse. A child's name is a serious matter, this sort of behaviour from the women and co is simply unacceptable.
It certainly is, it will effect him his whole life , one way or another.

The Romans has a saying..." nomen est omen", that a name had predictive power in it's  destiny.

These idiots in this generation, put no critical thought into anything.

And the "men" have been so neutered that they've become mere spineless jelly fish at the whims  of these "karens" they shack up with.

This is what Fox thinks is news. Finding a post on Reddit and "reporting" it.

Yep, they might as well be like a Buzzfeed.
