HelpRe: Hazel for a boy ? ? ?
in reply to a message by Zzanderthal
I think she was probably hoping for a girl.
It's a shame, because on my boys list I'm got "girls" names such as Phoenix, Devon and Sydney / Sidney, yes these are unisex but in the US especially no one would dare use them for boys. Hazel isn't unisex, not in the slightest, anywhere. To reiterate, I think it's a shame...

I don't understand this whole "hoping for the opposite gender" thing. Can't a person like a unisex or ambiguous name without all the strings attached?? Would it be correct to assume (since you yourself mention that Sydney is seen as feminine in the US) that upon hearing you named your son Sydney, that you must have really been hoping for a girl instead?? I personally love Whitney on a boy but sure as hell wouldn't name a daughter that. Also, I view Phoenix as mostly boy... and actually it's quite a bit more popular for boys than girls. I don't think you'd have any problem with that one in the US.
