I'm from the West, but I'll answer your questions, anyway...
Would a girl named Dante be really out of place where you lived? -It wouldn't be TOO out of place, but I know a lot of people would quietly wonder why the couple chose such a masculine name for their daughter. I'm from Northern CA, and while there does seem to be a lot of uncommon names here (think surnames-as-first-names, nature names, etc.), I can't think of a lot of people who would give the thumbs up to Dante on a girl. She wouldn't be made fun of or anything, but yes, people would think it was a little weird. The only Dantes I have known have been male. What kind of opinion do you think people would have of a girl named Dante? -Well, MY opinion would be, "Why did her parents choose Dante when there are so many great female names that never get used?" It wouldn't annoy me or anything, but I wouldn't understand it.I live in a small city, I guess. It's not THAT big, but it's not a one-horse town. People have heard of it.
