My mom was so sure I was gonna be a boy that she never picked out girl names, my dad disagreed with her so he got to name me.

I have always disliked my name. Not feminine enough to make it obvious I am a girl...not masculine enough to win me job interviews. My husband's name is also androgynous. I wish people wouldn't name girls with "boy" names, though. It really messed with my concept of femininity.

I also have an ambiguous first name. I get a lot of mail addressed to "Mr. Lee . . . "

Fail! But I'm pretty girly nevertheless.

Mine's obviously girly :lol:

So it's clear we need to name our children with something fitting the total opposite or what we hope they will become. i.e. what we dread.... White Republicans in Texas should consider the names "Barack", "Jervais" and "Indira"........

:bolt:

Mine's seriously poshly girly ....two big dooh doooohs there.

Mum decided it was her turn to name the baby come hell or high water with me, but Dad refused to call me by my official name. Hence why I am known by my first name and my second.

It makes things very confusing at times.

You mean some call you Duck, and others just call you Nuts? :lol2:

Mine's girly now but didn't become so until Steel Magnolias came out. Prior to that it was boyish. There were 7 Jennifers in my first grade class, I was just happy not to be one of them.

Fuckin' A, jinx.

And I escaped it for awhile, being in the corporate world with a mix of ages and genders... but now I'm associating almost exclusively with other mothers my age, so it's back to being surrounded by freaking Jennifers again.

Yeah, I was glad not to be of the Jennifer clan. Now I know 3 of them whose kids go to school with mine.

Aubrey Jean!

Mary Lynn, can go by Mary, Lynn, or Marylynn.

Silas is a good boys name
