Re: Shawn and Shawna
in reply to a message by TerraSierra
Honestly as much as I love boys names on girls, and girls names on boys, etc. This one I don't seem to wrap around. My friend also likes the name Shawn on a girl. I think it could work on a girl I know a Shawna and I thought that was nice.
I think it's because I don't care for Shawn on a boy either, lol. I think if you like a name then use it though. I've seen Shawn on a girl a few times.

Do you really like boys names on girls and vice versa? Wow! Me too! Well, I find it fascinating and I like it too. I really like gender ambiguous names and then names that defy gender or the use of names that defy gender. I also like balancing names of each gender, sort of like balancing the masculine and feminine, ying and yang. Maybe that's weird to some people, but I love playing with masculine-feminine and feminine-masculine combos that can work for each gender.
I absoutely love it [m]
I love love love it so much. It's fun I honestly don't think of gender when I look at names unless it's really obvious. I like balancing them out too.
I personally consider all nature/word/place names things that don't have a gender as unisex by default :).
What names do you like?

Wow! I don't really see gender when I look at a name either. Not at first anyway.
Interesting ideas about nature/word/place names. I have to think about that, but I probably agree. I think I would add to that adjectives too, unless you consider those as words.
The names I like are really really long! I'll have to make a list and share it. But for me it's the combinations and the feelings I get from the name, the combination and the actual person. For fun I like to play with names, but I almost can't imagine naming my baby before seeing it. Does that make sense?
