Re: Larkin for a girl...
in reply to a message by LKM17
I think it sounds more feminine than masculine, but I wouldn't use it for either gender. Last year in my English Literature class we studied a poet called Philip Larkin who I found really depressing, so it's not a good association for me.

We also studied Philip Larkin a couple of years ago, and he's a right miserable so-and-so (so not a good association there!).
The name also makes me think of larkin' about- i.e being silly.
