Ariel Sharon, PM of Israel...
Ariel is tradtionally a boys' name picked on in the US probably, UK probably for a while, Canada maybe, elswhere, I doubt anyone would care.

I don't know why the USA has to be like that. For being such a young country we don't seem so open about a lot of things. If someone wants to name thier daughter something like Rowan people think it's cute & creative, but if they want to name thier boy Ashley people think he'll get ridiculed. I'm not mmeaning this about every American but if I were to mention I think Ashley is a great name for boy to anyone who doesn't know much about names they'd laugh. But I hear comment like, 'isn't that a creative name' when heard that someone named thier daughter Rowan. I'm not trying to be negative about girls w/ boys names, to each his own, but shouldn't things be equal?

yea but we can't help the people we live around

I guess it's more accepted because now tom-girls are becoming more and more accepted

Luckily our children won't only associate with 13 year old who know nothing about history or anything that happened before the 1990's. Even 10 year olds I know are a little more knowledgeable and open-minded than that.
