[Opinions] Sterling...for a girl?
My friend who likes the names Phoebe and Nymphadora for girls, and Addison for a boy, was thinking of names for two characters for a story, and enlisted my help. She needed a male and female name, and I suggest Sterling, under the impression she knew I meant it for the male. She said, "That's such a pretty name for a girl! I love it!"
My reply, "Uh, it's for a boy."She thinks it's too girlie for a boy, and I think it's much too masculine for a girl. Well, it'll be used as the woman's name in her story. And, the man's name in the story is Debonair (not my idea).I had suggested Sterling for the man, and Anita for the woman. Just thought I'd share. :)Edit 1: More comments.
Edit 2: Spelling.
Edit 3: Added a word.
