[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love it for a girl, and its on our list. You have to remember DCUM is full of the old fuddie duddie, super old fashioned, naming crowd. [b]We like the idea of gender neutral/ male names for girls, as on paper (resumes) she will be on equal footing, and won't be judged by/for her femininity. [/b][/quote] This is just such a stupid argument. What if she wants to go into a profession where women are preferred? Or if, by the time she is grown up, schools/workplaces will tend to discriminate against males (which some might already do, because they want to increase their female staff)? My point is you just have no idea whether having a name that everybody takes as a male name on paper will benefit her or not. Use it if you like it, but don't think you'll be doing her career a favor.[/quote]
