HelpRe: Shannon
in reply to a message by Solveig
There is nothing so feminine about the name Lynn. I like it for either gender as well as I like Shannon. (I am also mostly Irish & German.)
I wish small minded folks would realize that the world is much bigger than their petty opinions or perceptions - and more importantly, would think before they speak.

Um....this board is dedicated to petty opinions and perceptions.
Solveig didn't say that anyone gave an opinion of the name Lynn for a male. She just said that it caused confusion and misunderstanding. That's because it's very predominately a female name in the US. You can't blame people for assuming that a Lynn is a female.

Although I did not mention this board at all in my above comment - and as a matter of fact, I wrote merely that I wish people would think before they "speak" (not write), I did nevertheless perceive the antipathy of a slur last year--and actually on more than one occasion: one from Gigibee - involving something you stated, but you were not involved in the actual slur - and I thank you for this.
I just queried the board administration on this referenced hateful intolerance.
