[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be helpful to say a little about your social world. Otherwise these names don't mean anything.

I'll start: white, UMC, mid-30s. Names of recent babies in my circle are Mia, Eleanor, Margot, Emma, Elijah, and Leo (multiple boys, one girl).[/quote]

These girls named things like Leo, Mason, Noah, Theo, etc. all have parents who think they've figured out some end run around misogyny but are are really playing right into it. [b]These girls will either come to dislike these names or will internalize the message that they aren't like the other girls -- they are at the "cool girls."[/b][/quote]

STRONG AGREE! [b]My daughter has a friend named Kevyn (pronounced the same as Kevin) that is in her 20s.[/b] I’m assuming that she hates her name because she exclusively goes by KC (her first and middle initial). I had no idea that Kevyn was her legal name until my daughter brought it up one day. I thought her name was Casey because I had only heard it and never saw it written down. The sad part is that this family also has a son, so I’m not quite sure why they didn’t just name him Kevin. They also have another daughter with a feminine first name.[/quote]

Naming your daughter Kevyn shouldn’t even be an option. I’m starting to think we need to have naming laws, guidelines, and restrictions in the US like some other countries do. Unfortunately, it will never happen because most Americans are more worried about parental rights and individualism rather than the mental and social well-being of children.[/quote]
