Help[Opinions] Re: Is there any correlation between the boy name on girl and gender bias?
in reply to a message by Francisinfp5w4
I really dislike the way that people think about names, but I have my own biases to reflect on. I would not name my son Courtney or Lindsay - not because I dislike the names on boys, but because I fear my son will be teased/bullied. It's really the same reason I would never call a daughter Gay or Gayla. The sound of them isn't bad, but rather, the association people have with those sounds is bad. If I could, I would give all of my children "far out there" names. However, I have to consider that they may have a hard time being taken seriously. If I was "responsible" for them being bullied, I would not know how to respond.

One of my cousins got teased for a having a girly MN. His MN is Adrian (it was in the top 100 for boys! and still is decades later), after a male relative. People are ridiculous.
That's why I wouldn't bother caring. There's a point when it stops being sensible and becomes ridiculous. If a name seems appropriate for a boy to you (before fear kicks in), then it's probably appropriate imv.
