[Opinions] Re: Stormy at the airport
That's just sad... knowing that your name was picked last minute and because of something so small and stupid like a newborn's voice.
A bit misogynistic to don't prepeare "what if name"? Maybe I'm looking too much into it.

Right. Well the doctor's office did tell her parents it would be a boy, but I can't imagine not having a girl name on reserve just in case there was a mistake. I'll try to believe it's not misogynistic undertones and just a lack of foresight due to trusting imperfect medical professionals. But that doesn't sit right with me either.
I agree with you, my thought about misogyny comes from seeing families in real life, who have big preassure about having a son.
Even my long-distance relatives were annoyed by having two girls in row and wanted a proper heir uhh.
