This. I feel like it reflects rejection of femininity as a quality. Femininity, and things traditionally associated with femininity, are only "bad" because of misogyny.
We make sure girls play sports and pursue science (which is great! I do it too!) but we don't encourage boys (or girls!) to learn to cook and clean. Why? Cooking and cleaning are incredibly useful skills. Everyone should learn them.
We like it when girls are direct and assertive. Great! Direct, assertive people can be terrific leaders. But we can't have a world of leaders. Why don't we encourage boys and girls to compromise, accommodate, and sacrifice? These are the qualities that make the world go round.
We want our girls to be boys because when we grew up we saw it was "better" to be a boy. But that's because of misogyny. We should celebrate femininity in boys and girls. It's wonderful. I wish we had more feminine people, of ever gender, in the world. Hopefully your daughter James/Max/Aiden/whatever agrees.
This, but let these moms pretend they are woke and making a radical choice.
Sonot true regarding surnames. Who said surnames as first names are masculine? Who determines that Harper is a girl’s name and Hunter is a boy’s name? It’s so ridiculous to have to label everything and make assumptions based on it.

Unisex names are clearly the future. Get over it.
