I'm not familiar with Emily Ratajkowski. By announcing the birth of Sylvester Apollo, I think she has already signalled that her child is a boy or at least she wants the child to be thought of as a boy when the name Sylvester Apollo is read off on the first day of class. There were some ambiguous mythological characters, but Apollo was always clearly a male god. There really isn't anything genderfluid about the name.

Sylvester is okay. It makes me think of the cat, the book "Sylvester, or the Wicked Uncle," and various men throughout history including a pope and the Graham cracker fellow.

Apollo seems over the top to me, but, if I wanted a name that shrieked this is a boy, Apollo or Samson or Dwayne Rock would probably get the message across.
