This, bolded.
Ridiculous but this trend has been on the uptick.

+1 I think it must be exhausting to have to specify. There was a whole thread on here about a woman with a boy name who was sooo upset at "assumptions" -- be mad at your parents.

This. I feel like it reflects rejection of femininity as a quality. Femininity, and things traditionally associated with femininity, are only "bad" because of misogyny.

We make sure girls play sports and pursue science (which is great! I do it too!) but we don't encourage boys (or girls!) to learn to cook and clean. Why? Cooking and cleaning are incredibly useful skills. Everyone should learn them.

We like it when girls are direct and assertive. Great! Direct, assertive people can be terrific leaders. But we can't have a world of leaders. Why don't we encourage boys and girls to compromise, accommodate, and sacrifice? These are the qualities that make the world go round.

We want our girls to be boys because when we grew up we saw it was "better" to be a boy. But that's because of misogyny. We should celebrate femininity in boys and girls. It's wonderful. I wish we had more feminine people, of ever gender, in the world. Hopefully your daughter James/Max/Aiden/whatever agrees.

“Boy names”.... the ones you’d consider are no longer considered “boy names” Moreso unisex although I don’t love that term either. Choose a family name... your dad, DH, brother... or a surname.

Porter, Morrisen, Brooks, Lincoln, Chatham, Lacy, etc

Ferrari, Petit, Brown, White, Black, Blanc, Young, Cox, McDonald, Graves, Iglesias, Ek, Little, etc.

Przemyslaw, Wladyslaw, Stanislaw, Roch, Kazimierz, Ignatz, ...

Montenegro, Van Buggenum, Garfagnini, Spellmeyer, Albuquerque, Blackwood, Adolvsson, Armbruster, Klímek, Arendonk, Vilanova, Guerra...

Sure. As occupational names go, give your kid a name that means valet.

However, I think Dale Junette is about the coolest cowgirl name ever.

Get out! Seriously? Studley? I’m assuming anyone with this name would suffer.

Oh, yes. She did. In so many ways.

Maybe the only time a traditionally male name could be acceptable, except for a nickname, would be a family name.

Carter
Keiser
Johnson
Fitzgerald
MacDougall

Oh, wait...no.
