ArchivesRe: Wrong Gender!!!!!!!!!!!
in reply to a message by No name please
Hananiah is a male name. It was born by several male characters in the Bible and there is no indication (that I can find, perhaps I am wrong) that this was ever used on females, historically speaking.
There is the similar feminine name of Hannah, so I suppose it is possible that some parents out there might think it would make a nicer alternative to Hannah. However, just because you know a girl named Hananiah does not automatically make it a female name. There are tons of male names out there that have been used on females. Just because its used once or twice on a female doesn't automatically make it a unisex name.
Also, I would refrain from using so many exclamation marks. Its not very polite.
