HelpRe: Gladys, the genuine Irish name...
in reply to a message by humblebee
Too bad about Clarence. Now I'm curious, too!
And I suppose we'll never know, hm? :/
Ah, Austin after Jane Austen! Ok, I can sort of understand that.
To be honest, with the Austin spelling I didn't even think of Jane Austen...
I don't see Shawn as a feminine form, either. I think a phonetic spelling of a "foreign" name just doesn't count as "feminisation" for me. Shawna? Yes, of course. But Shawn? Nah, not really. I still find it weird that my book claims it's a female name...
