Antivehicular posted:Saw a Cabot-Anne today, which definitely has the zing of "Dad wanted a boy" I know at least a few of these: Dylan-Sophie (daughter of Dylan Sr), Maria-Charles, Robby-Anne, and the delightful Davie-James-Paige, who, at 5 years old, stood in front of our (hippy, Rudolph Steiner, permanently barefoot, tie-dye-wearing, white-parents-with-dreadlocks-having) kindergarten class, wearing turned up jeans, converse, and a He-Man t-shirt, and said "If you call me Paige, I'll break your fuckin' nose."

Blaine, Casey, Daryl, Jude, Jordan, Taylor. Hell, I dated a Taylor.

Fleta Mcgurn posted:I knew a boy named Ashley in kindergarten. I remember finding it odd at the time. The first person I ever knew called Ashley was a boy, so I still think of it as more a boy's name than a girl's, even though I've now known more female Ashleys than male. Ditto for Morgan, Darcy, Eden, Lee, and Emerald. Growing up, though, I knew boys called Juno and Brooke, and definitely found them both odd (even though I don't think I'd ever met a girl called Brooke at that age; but I went to a Steiner school in a hippy town, so I was familiar the goddess Juno).

In general in the states a boys name can become a girls name but never the other way. The "-ly" ending names got hit hard with Hillary, Ashley, and Lesly all be firmly female names now.

Astrofig posted:My best friend married a dude named Madison. There was that movie Splash where Daryl Hanna is a mermaid and when she wants to give herself a human name she points at the first street sign she sees and asks Tom Hanks what it says. It’s Madison Ave. so she goes with Madison for her name and it’s played for laughs because that was such an odd name for a woman. I wonder if that was the origin of the name Madison for girls because it doesn’t even seem weird now. For that matter I can’t think of another woman named Daryl.

One of Adam Savage's sons is called Addison. I've never met anyone with this name, but I immediately thought of it as a girl's name.

From the tankie thread: madeintaipei posted:This reminds me of a story in which a Lithuanian academican gets all pumped up for a conference in the West, thinking of the prestigious people he will meet, how much better Western science is, how he might just have an opportunity to defect once his potential colleagues realize his intellect. This falls apart the first time he's introduced to all these folks he holds in such high regard. "Is there a Shitman here, Lukas Shitman?", the presenter booms out above the crowd, to hearty guffaws. Poor old Shitman reflexively doubles down on the Communist propaganda to hide his ignorance of English and how his name just might be funny. "I may be a Shitman, but at least there is a place for a Shitman under our system!" Lolling at this thread. I have what would be a traditional name in my first language that doesn't work so well in English. I am the your-name-is- what-now. Endless poo poo was given when I was a child.
