Re: What are your favourite boys names for girls?
in reply to a message by HoneyAnt
I understand the desire that goes into naming a daughter something that's not merely unisex, but traditionally masculine. It often comes from the hope that she'll be taken more seriously in the real world as an adult. However, this outlook plays into prevailing misogyny - like a female Austen or Ryan will be inherently more capable than a Fiona or a Sophie just from name alone.
Valentine and Rowan are two names I regard as truly unisex. I'd be more likely to use Valentine, though, since I greatly prefer Rowenna for a girl.
But... if you were to put a gun to my head, I suppose I could name a daughter:
Adrian (though I'd vastly prefer Adrienne for a girl)
Beckett (you can still get Becky out of this)
Cameron
Dorian
Elliott (Ellie)
Emrys
Everett (Evie)
Kieran
Murrough
Perran
Taliesin
Veryan
