That, and a signal that the parent is sexist but too dumb to realize it.

Tell me OP, would you name your boy Emma, Rose, or Charlotte?

To be fair, none of those names are considered gender neutral at all. Hunter is becoming more common for girls, :

Think throwing sexism around is a bit much here. Overall I don't disagree with your implicit statement that more "boy" names have become gender neutral than girl names. And, I'm sure you're right there is a lot to unpack as to why that is the case...but it's a leap to call OP an ignorant sexist.

Hunter is not a gender neutral name. As recently as 2022, Hunter is ~10x more common on males. In 2010, ~20x more common for boys. And so on.

It’s not a lot to unpack to understand why parents are happy to name their girls male names like Hunter when they never do the equivalent for their boys.

I'm sorry you're uncomfortable when parents deviate from gender stereotypes when naming their child.

NP but the issue is the deviation only goes in one direction. You're not into breaking gender stereotypes, you just have internalized a lot of terrible messaging about femininity.

I agree and am happy someone is pointing this out. I actually gave my daughter a truly sex-neutral name (I think it’s got about a 50:50 distribution), but just because it was the only name we agreed on and didn’t give it much thought. Now, as a gender critical feminist, I am worried people might think this about us and her name because it’s a legitimate criticism.

An insecure gender-critical feminist? Groundbreaking.

Insecure about ONE issue does not mean insecure in general or about my feminism. I doubt you’ve ever met a single gender critical feminist in real life and have no idea what they/we are like.

DP. I can almost guarantee that is true 😂 in unrelated news: my friends are normal

By normal you must mean, subtlety misogynistic and sexist like most people.

I don't like it LESS for a girl than a boy though. I just don't like it as a name in general.

+1. I really don't like it, for a girl or boy.

I can see how not knowing any actual feminists in real life would lead you to believe I’m the only one, yes.
