Re: Boy names on girls
in reply to a message by Pie
My own name is technically unisex, but since the male version is so much more common, people misspell it, and prior to meeting me people always assume I am male.
Also there were all the lovely taunts as a child concerning my "boy name" and asking if I was really a "boy". Then the jealousy of friends boyfriends that kept hearing about me until finding out, "Oh, __ is a girl."
So... yeah. If I should ever have a daughter, she will have a very feminine name.
On the plus side, as an adult, when people meet me, most people's first response is, "Oh, I love unisex names!"
I have another friend that has a traditionally masculine name, though only now becoming more popular. She didn't have as much of a hard time with it.
