pg_restore to new database wants to wipe out the old database?

Hi,

v9.6.9

Why is pg_restore trying to drop my production database, when I (think I) am
telling it to create the new database "Molson"?

$ cd /backup
$ pg_dump -d proddb -j 8 -Fd --no-synchronized-snapshots -Z0 -v -f proddb 2>
proddb_pgdump.log

$ mv proddb Molson
$ pg_restore -vcC --if-exists --jobs=8 -d postgres Molson
pg_restore: connecting to database for restore
pg_restore: dropping DATABASE proddb
pg_restore: [archiver (db)] Error while PROCESSING TOC:

Thanks
