We need more gentle boys in this warped, misogynistic, femicidal world. I'm a fag, and if I ever had a son, I'd want him to be gentle.

Agree.I dislike the idea of sweet, gentle names for girls and strong names for boys. A name is used by girls enough and it's not manly enough. No problem with a girl James beyond a few raised eyebrows and muttered comments, but god-forbid you name a boy Elizabeth.I hate it.

James already sounds pretty feminine/neutral as a sound. Elizabeth honestly doesn't sound gendered at all, but it's a long complicated name associated with girls. It's better to compare it to a girl named Christopher or something.

I think that Elizabeth is strong and slightly proud. It does not project sweet and gentle although Beth does. There are lots of girl names that I consider strong but not masculine. Boy names that give off a soft vibe to me are Wendell, Adrian, Wesley, Ambrose, etc...

Yeah, I figured you'd say something like this.

Glad I'm steadfast enough to be predictable!
