I was simply asking him to provide alternatives.

I did not mention any alternatives because the thread starter (rascaldog) did not mention anything about providing alternatives; the post was simply asking opinions about the name Evan for a girl (though if someone wanted to mention alternatives, that wouldn't be a problem either).

As I said to Chrisell, I think that your efforts would be better served if you expanded upon your naming preferences in this post & others. You basically only pop up once in a while and say the same thing. Okay, we get it! Boys can be named anything under the sun, but girls must adhere to traditional naming practises (Nancy, Grace, etc) - expand upon that. Give alternatives & provide something more than your standard answer.

I never said that girls can only be given "traditional" names! The reason you see so many posts where I say that "Unisex name X is a boy's name to me" is simply because boy's names on girls is one of my pet peeves in naming (not because I have a unisex name; in fact, I like my name!). Even though I may disagree with some people's naming styles (and some may disagree with mine), everyone has a right to their opinion on this board. I stated my opinion because the starter of this thread asked for opinions on the name Evan for a girl, and I gave mine. As I said on another post here, I did not give alternatives because the OP did not ask for them. As Chrisell said, I did nothing wrong when I replied to this thread.
