As for "are they kidding?"
Allegra - allergey medication
Allegra was a perfectly legitimate name before it was an allergy medication.

The medication still ruins it for me. The children in class with a child Allegra won't know the difference.

If this is the Allegra I think it is, she's 20 or 21, so it shouldn't be an issue. Nowadays, I do agree that it would be problematic for a baby, which is a shame because it's a lovely name.

I agree, it stinks when great names become associated with things that could cause teasing or not so wonderful associations.
