To play devil's advocate,
I actually think it's neat to give a child a unique namesake name for a favourite author. Gender-bending is also becoming quite popular, so I'll go ahead and say that you would only get a minimum of odd looks when introducing your pink-tutu-clad Isak. You know what would be an equally neat name in Dinesen's honour though? Christenze! It was her middle (birth) name, Karen Christenze Dinesen. Now there's a nifty name!Also Dinesen would be neat to see as an option; somehow it has a more feminine ring to it, and would be less noticeable in the wave of surname-names that many girls are sporting.
