Re: What's your thoughts on the name LaFree for a boy?
What stone does it say that the letter A or the La Prefix can only be for girls plus both LaFree and Freea has very special meaning that of course (not surprising) goes over society's head! its all about the power of freedom, and knowing that you are free and if society is uncomfortable then that's their problem and how can you not find it hypocritical for some one to say a name is ignorant when their own name is unique that's like telling someone don't drink when you yourself its an alcoholic like you said people are open to options well THAT'S my options

I think people are just recognizing (as many English, French, or Spanish speakers will IRL) that La is a feminine article in both French and Spanish. I don't personally think that makes it seem feminine; it could seem like a surname to me (I'd compare Lafayette). However, it does look faux French to me, considering how inconsistently English "free" looks combined with La. Maybe that doesn't matter to you, but, it might to other people. I don't really care, but I'd wonder what was wrong with just using Freedom or even Freedrik "Free".And I feel like Freea would be confused with Freya often.

Aye but here's the thing you seem to have somehow missed over and over again; YOU asked US what OUR opinions were. My opinion stands, I will comment no more on this.
