HelpRe: Female & Male Names.
in reply to a message by Lsia.
I'm not seeing an oipinion: just a list.
Colin? Maybe if parents wanted to use Colin and had a daughter instead, they might consider Collyn, but why, when Colleen exists?
Alex - all the Alexa people I know never shorten it. Brandi or -y is so dated and was always fem. Carl for boys, Carla, nn Carl if necessary, for girls. Andy, yes but as a nn; I knew an Ann who was sometimes called Andy. Tomison - if you have seen this IRL, you can submit it, but I certainly haven't. Wren seems fem. I'm not familiar with Kalani. Shay is male to me, derived from Seamus; I don't appreciate it because it's just too close to Shame. Ash- names could be either; I dislike them all. Aston, mn Martin? I find car names unfortunate. Blair, Blake and Brook(e) seem exclusively American so far. Camryn probably fem. Chandler is a ln and was a male occupation. Coby? Coby, in the form of Cobie or, more likely, Kobie, works as a nn for Jakoba so fem is fine. Dallas, not outside the US. Darian? Darien is geographical, but I've never seen it with an -a- or on a human. Derby, like the horse race - just another place name. Sorry, Lsia, I'm getting thoroughly bored with this. I'll be selective: Dylan, m. Leigh, preferably f. Morgan, m. Robin, m. Teddie, who knows; Teddy, m. Toby, like my cat, m, The rest can be whatever anyone likes; I haven't seen them IRL and wouldn't use them.
