Re: Thoughts on opposite gender MNs?
I think it's good, it's just usually kinda boring. A few weeks ago I learned of an artist named Jeffrey Catherine Jones, which I thought was pretty cool. In her case she added Catherine because she transitioned, but it was still pleasantly unexpected. I think it's easier to be safely creative with giving girls a male middle name, because there's already an established practice of putting maiden names in the middle, so something like "Lucy Frank Belvedere" is just.... a name. To me, anyway. I guess that can sometimes happen the other way, too; a name like "Patrick Rose MacArthur" isn't very unusual. I think names like Hope, Crystal, Faith, Charity, Fern, Holly, etc would be sweet middles for a boy.
