Re: The Difference Between East Coast and West Coast
Hmmm I wonder why so many people find Dante to sound masculine but say that they like Bronte for a female.Does it come down to familiarity and association of the people they actually know or know from literature or history?Because I feel that the Dawn sound is much more feminine than the Brawn sound. Brawn makes me think of muscles and Dawn makes me think of the sunrise.Both Dante and Bronte aren't quite my style. I don't hate or love Dante but my partner loves the name Dante for a girl.

I think part of it is that Dante is a male name, and Bronte is the last name of a female writer so since Bronte doesn't have a gender to start with it seems less masculine on a girl. Personally I don't really like it either, but it would be better than Dante IMO.
