That, and a signal that the parent is sexist but too dumb to realize it.

Tell me OP, would you name your boy Emma, Rose, or Charlotte?[/quote]

To be fair, none of those names are considered gender neutral at all. Hunter is becoming more common for girls, :

Think throwing sexism around is a bit much here. Overall I don't disagree with your implicit statement that more "boy" names have become gender neutral than girl names. And, I'm sure you're right there is a lot to unpack as to why that is the case...but it's a leap to call OP an ignorant sexist.

Hunter is not a gender neutral name. As recently as 2022, Hunter is ~10x more common on males. In 2010, ~20x more common for boys. And so on.

It’s not a lot to unpack to understand why parents are happy to name their girls male names like Hunter when they never do the equivalent for their boys. [/quote]

I'm sorry you're uncomfortable when parents deviate from gender stereotypes when naming their child. [/quote]

NP but the issue is the deviation only goes in one direction.  You're not into breaking gender stereotypes, you just have internalized a lot of terrible messaging about femininity.[/quote]

I agree and am happy someone is pointing this out. I actually gave my daughter a truly sex-neutral name (I think it’s got about a 50:50 distribution), but just because it was the only name we agreed on and didn’t give it much thought.

An insecure gender-critical feminist? Groundbreaking. [/quote]

Insecure about ONE issue does not mean insecure in general or about my feminism. [b]I doubt you’ve ever met a single gender critical feminist in real life and have no idea what they/we are like.[/b][/quote]

DP. I can almost guarantee that is true 😂 in unrelated news: my friends are normal [/quote]
