Re: Gender-bending Mythology/Biblical names?
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
It doesn't really matter to me, but it would depend on how well known the name is. There are plenty of highly obscure mythological and Biblical names that could be gender bent without any issue because very few people would have any gender associations for them. Like a boy could easily be Kymo or a girl Adriel and nobody would think that's weird (other than the fact the names are so uncommon).
But if you're going to pick names that are well known, that's different. I think it's fine, but I'd expect a story attached. Someone can't name a boy Mary Magdalene or Aphrodite, or a girl Thor or David, and expect it to be treated like any other name. I'd wanna know the story there.
I think it's an interesting concept.
