Honestly, yes some do!

In our mums group, the first week there were a lot of babies in really gender neutral colours (white, grey etc.) and there were a couple of babies that really looked like a boy or a girl. Some you couldn't tell at all. My daughter has never been mistaken for a boy even though I often dress her in boys clothes. I think she just looks like a girl.

I think that no matter how gender neutral you would like to be, if you know your child is a female by the sex organs she is born with and is most likely to grow into a little girl and then a young an old woman- and you picture all of that as you look at that tiny baby and give it the best name possible- I don't understand how you look at that and think "Wolfgang it is!"

I am completely accepting of the gender spectrum and I'd support any child that I have who happens to be gender non-conforming or transgender- but the fact is that we don't expect that as the norm from our child. That's our own socialization and statistics.

So yes, when I look at a baby that I know and that I'm about to name, that baby looks like whatever sex it is.

My daughter really looked like a girl from birth and my son really looked like a boy from birth.

But with some babies you can't tell.

I like how you said that.
