[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 35 and just named my daughter something that could go either way. I did this for her career. I don’t want her resume or application judged based on her gender. [/quote]

I think it’s better to work for a equitable work culture for women than to give your child an androgynous name.  They’ll see she’s a woman once they meet her, anyway. [/quote]

Agree. I am a woman with an engineering degree and work in a very technical field. My daughters names are clearly feminine.  [/quote]

+2. We gave our daughter a classic feminine name. I find out the gender tomorrow and if the baby is a second daughter, we'll be choosing another feminine name. It's a personal preference but I really don't like androgenous or masculine names or nicknames on girls. If that's someone's preferred style, then go ahead, but it seems really odd to do it just for future resumes. And there's definitely a difference between an actual gender neutral name or a name with an androgenous nickname (Sam, Alex, etc) and just straight up naming a daughter James, Elliot, or Thomas.
