Re: Non-Binary Friend Name Change
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
I think your friend has been misinformed. Erin is not a unisex name. Not to say nobody in hisstory ever named a boy Erin, because just about everything has been done at least once. But it is not a unisex name any more than Aaron is even if they do sond identical.
It's kind of silly that someone would actively seek to shed all indications of gender and then choose a name that's so emphatically female.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

Considering these days names like Beau, Dylan, Niall, Ryan, Michael, Oliver, Benjamin, and Jasper are considered unisex, this didn’t really surprise me that much for some reason. (Even then at this point they can be since some are fairly long established for girls) A person named Erin who’s gender neutral is hardly that interesting and is at least gender-neutral sounding. At least it’s a somewhat unisex radical choice.
