[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] But that’s the thing...generally, no one is co-opting the truly masculine sounding names. They’re using names like Elliott that have a “feminine” cadence. That’s how Ashley, Leslie, and Vivian ended up as girls’ names; they already sounded feminine.[/quote] What's a "feminine cadence" about these names? I'm asking sincerely. Are you thinking, for example, that Elliott sounds like Elliette, and -ette is feminine? Or Ashley and Leslie end in -y, like Molly and Amy? Or Vivian is like Vivi-ann? And in that case, wouldn't there be lots of girl named Noah (like Susannah and Rebekah!) or Logan ((like Log-ann!)?[/quote] ^^^also, what do you consider a "truly masculine sounding" name?[/quote]
