Re: What are your favourite boys names for girls?
I met a lady by the name of Kevin in my early twenties: I loved it. I'd never known the name Kevin used for a lady previously, but what could be wrong with it? I do not understand why Max would be a "boy" name due to the formal Maxine name - which can be used as a short for Maxwell too; so, "Max" may even be used as a formal name for either gender. Connie - from Conrad, Cornelius, for Cornelia, or Cordelia.Elise for Elisha (wait - is this masculine or feminine?) Does the gender matter? Only if we allow the gender to be relevant; or if we "allow it to be relevant", must we allow this quality to be a detrimental slur than a positive attribute?
Must we follow the same naming standards or valuation criteria as our neighbors?
