HelpRe: POLL RESULTS! Gendered Connotations
in reply to a message by Xena
Hi !!!
I agree with many of them.
Tatum (f) it reminds me the 'tutu' used by ballerinas so it Is very soft and feminine.
Rain (f) also in Italian 'pioggia' is grammatically feminine (pioggia is not used as given name though). If I want a masculine I'll choose Ren (masculine, Japanese).
Mica / Micah (m) both masculine. I prefer Mika as diminutive of Mikael / Michaël.
Max (m) so stereotyped! If I want a feminine form I'll choose Maxine 'Miss'.
Marin (m?) This one is strange in my opinion. I would guess it were masculine. Actually everyone said that's feminine. Being Italian I would use Marino (m) and Marina (f) so seing Marin I thought it were the form of Marino while I know that Marina is common there too..
Logan (m) my first thought is Wolverine by Hugh Jackman... so masculine!
Jules (m) Jules Verne.
Jude (?) This one is really unisex. My first thought is Judith and my second is 'Hey Jude'. It is for both genders.
Jaime (m) the Spanish pronounciation KHIE-me is so strong. After that Jaime Lannister. So masculine.
Iphis (f?) My first thought was Isis (goddess) and Ibis (bird). Someone wearing White Ancient Egyptian toga / clothes. A feminine vibe.
Fern (f) also in Italian 'felce' Is grammatically feminine.
Emery (m) English for Emmerich. If I want a feminine name I'll choose Hilary.
Ellis (?) not a given name at all in my opinion. A surname or the island linked with immigration.
Devon (m) I don't know why but Devon seems masculine while Dover seems feminine.
Casey (m) motorcycle racer Casey Stoner.
Darcy (m?) I judge it masculine because of Austen masterpiece. Why is it so feminine there? If I want a feminine name I'll choose Elsa.
Cameron (m) the meaning seems masculine. It is tied with Scottish clans that bring me a rough vibe. After that it is similar to 'Decameron' (Italian literarian masterpiece written by Boccaccio) that is grammatically masculine.
Ash (m) the protagonist of Pokemon!!
