That doesn't mean it's a good name. Picking pretty words out of other languages doesn't make a good name.

Okay Miss Julia...
...I did a little bit of research and it seems that your name is likely derived from the word for "downy-bearded."
Hmm.
Many names are attributes or characteristics that parents either observe in their children or wish for their children to possess; others are stations, titles or family names. Somewhere along the line, someone decided to use a word as a name (like, say...Julius) and it stuck; current "legit" names just have the benefit of hundreds or thousands of years behind them. Who's to say that in a thousand years, Saronia won't be a totally legit name. Who's to say that Saronia isn't a totally legit name right now in a culture of which you are not aware. Just because it's not in *your* taste doesn't mean it is not a legit name.
It's totally fine for you to dislike it, but say that instead of trying to discredit it without foundation.
