HelpRe: That attitude + ditto Akis
in reply to a message by Tota
For my reply to "we", please see my answer to Kris Rose.
And yes, there are people naming their daughters that. Click: Hunter. Note it's even been given the "feminine" designation since the trend is so prevalent. There was just a discussion of the feminization of Dylan in a thread yesterday, but you can scroll for that yourself.
And that's the point I'm trying to make -- it is socially acceptable to name girls that, but it's scandalous to consider Helga or Elisabeth for a boy.

I assure you I am not one for male names on females, and vice versa. Pleasant is a word I associate with behaviours and attitude. "Good" behaviours have always been expected from women - as is being "Nice" and "Polite", etc. This can extend to the colour "Blue" for boys and the colour "Pink" for girls. Sexist labels, if you will. These are the differences evoked upon males and females, regardless of how much you choose to disagree. This would help explain my thoughts on the name Pleasant and my example of the locker room, coming from an individual who does not applaude the use of the names Hunter, Dylan, James, Robert, on females (nor the use of words).
