HelpRe: The Difference Between East Coast and West Coast
in reply to a message by Serafina Starstrider
I currently live in New York City, but I'm originally from a rural town in Pennsylvania.
The only major difference I see between those two, would be that there are simply more people in New York City, and that the diversity there is what leads to the different names. My hometown is equally liberal, just smaller. (Much smaller.)
I dislike the name Dante for a girl. It's not my style, and I'm a firm believer in male names for males, etc, with some exceptions for "unisex names" (which I ultimately think tend to lean one way or another). I think a female Dante would stick out regardless of where you are.

I agree. I'm from Washington State (which is west) and I think that it would stick out here even if we are a very western liberal state. I haven't really hard all that many made up names. A lot of them just seem to be the trendy names like "Jayden" and "Nevaeh". A lot of my former classmates also ended up spelling them creatively.
Oh can I have the link to the article? I would really like to read it.

I'm from Seattle but I'm currently living just outside the WA capitol. I meet girls with names like Charlie, Devon, Noah, Spencer, Ryan, Riley, etc... fairly often. One of the times I was at Sol Duc I met a little girl named Dante. I guess it could be really different in WA depending on where you live.
I found the article, here it is: http://www.livescience.com/12934-popular-baby-names-frontier-states.html
