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?


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.

In general, the name is over-used.
Very zeigeist and unoriginal.

I agree. I'm okay with Hunter. I don't think of all these negative connotations.

I'm not sure why Harper makes the cut, but Hunter doesn't. Sounds the same to my ears.

I'd go with Diana, if the meaning is what matters.

I prefer Hunter to Artemis, which will get butchered and is the sort of name a child comes to loathe.


I suggest Artemis (instead of Diana) because it’s equally try-hard, IMO.

Would you consider Diana or Cynthia? They both mean hunter and, to me at least, have a prettier sound.

Makes me think of Hunter Scangarelo on the Sopranos. Or, Huntah as Carmela called her

Please do not name a girl Hunter.

It is not a unisex name.

Anyone else seeing the local political ads for a woman named Russet? I feel sorry for her. And her last name starts with a P. Looks like Russet Potato.

Do better, Dcumlandia.
