New England girl here. My time is split pretty evenly between the city and the cape. Personally I do think a girl named
Dante would feel really out of place. I know more masculine/strong names for girls seems to be a trend, but in all honestly I feel like I keep meeting little ones with frilly names. Or at least names that specifically denote their gender. The most masculinely named girls I've taught recently have been
Avery, Ainsley/Ainslee,
Taylor, Harbour and
Ryan. But none of those are really a stretch. Personally if I met a little girl named
Dante I'd be left wondering why her parents gave her such a strong, masculine name when there are plenty of strong females names out there. Have you ever thought about
Bronte?
