HelpRe: Just kind of as a thought to everyone:
in reply to a message by Circus Lullaby
Good point. I'm sure it has happened. Among the oldtime Gussies, there must have been an August or two.
It's very interesting how many layers there are to this idea. Alex, for example, I would call a unisex nickname and a masculine name. To me, it's equally perfect on an Alexandra or Alexander, but as the only name on a birth certificate I would see it as masculine.
Clearly, this is an issue where people are strongly guided by personal preference, opinion, and experience and end up in different places. It's given me some food for thought tonight. :)
