HelpRe: George, James, and Wyatt. (F)
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
They seem pretty bad to me.
I hate James on a guy, and it seems a little less bad on a girl, actually - but that doesn't make it good. Also I would hate to be a girl/woman named James. Not only is it the wrong gender, but it's just so blah and plain and smarmy-sounding. At least she could go by Jamie which is nice imo.
I think of the first-name usage of Wyatt as inspired by Wyatt Earp, so it's strongly attached to a masculine image for me. I can understand its appeal as a guyname, but not as a galname. Wyett could seem feminine enough, almost the same prn, and I could get used to it. But I wouldn't like it.
George would only seem OK on a girl/woman if it were a nickname for a Georg-name. It's so frumpy and doughy by itself, as a full fn for a girl it would seem almost pathetic to me. But as a nick for some people, I could picture it working.
Most all common traditional guynames on gals, come across as weak to me. It's as if the positive associations I have with them as guynames, get almost inverted.
