Dressage sounds more elegant and has the added benefit of being French.


But there's the danger of her being called Stressage.

How about calling her Combined Driving?


Team Penning? Call her Pen as a NN.
Polo?
Timber?
Rodeo? You could pronounce it like the street in Beverly Hills for more panache.

Hate. So many good girl names out there! Hunter is even terrible for a boy and it isn't aging well with Hunter Biden

Hunter Tylo’s real name was Deborah Jo Hunter.

It was her stage name, not her given name.

Yawn, standard DCUM response when they don’t like a name. Pull out a dog they know with the name. I know a dog named Bella. Should we discourage that name too?

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.


You sound rigid.

I think of a guy in camo shooting deer in the woods...not a little girl or a grown woman.
