I understand. And I get that Idris *sounds* girly to some. It's why I've given up on keeping Ainsley for a boy. That rock is too hard to roll up hill.

And I'm sure there are as many reasons why people choose names as there are people. It's just something I've noticed as a general proposition in doing these boards and watching name trends for (literally) decades.

Yes, I'm sure that's the case for a lot of the time. And I suppose I'm a tad hypocritical, because there are a lot of names that I love (Rory, Sasha, etc.) that are used on girls, and it irks me a little.

And for what it's worth, I do really like Idris on a boy as well. :)

I should start a "hypocritical thread" of my own because I have a secret liking for Meredith on a girl. and there are others. Shshshshshs. Don't tell anyone.

You'd probably get a lot of responses! I think everyone is at least a little hypocritical. I think it'd actually be a fun thread!
