[quote=Anonymous]Kamala does not even enter into my first thoughts.

1) if you just like the name save it for a boy or a pet.

2) if you want to use it bc it is a family name use it as a middle name.

I have my mom’s maiden name as my middle name and it is also Scottish and masculine if used as a first name.

If it were a boy, go for it, but Harris reads as very male to me. Pop an Anne in front of it you have to do it. Or Mary. I think the double barreled first name is ok and the only way I’m going to support Harris as a girl’s name. Obviously I get no vote, but I don’t want to set my kid up for constant confusion on gender right away.

I think the Kamala question is entirely different, but no, Kamala does not spring to mind when you say it. If you were a Kamala fan and wanted to recall her with your daughter’s name you would choose Kamala. Harris doesn’t. Unless you have old Biden Harris posters and yard signs decorating your house.

Harris might get some Harris Teeter jokes, head’s up. You gotta review the possible nicknames. [/quote]
