Krishna

As a white female who knows something of the Hindu religion, this name is NOT feminine at all. So sick of male names being used for females. Once they cross over, they can't come back, and that's one less nice name that a boy/ man can have. In my opinion, most of the names that get crossed-over sound awkward and contrived on females anyway. And it's all to be trendy and to feel "special" or "uneeeeK." As well, it completely disregards the history of things. History is already under siege right now. Please don't add to it. Keep boy names for boys and girl names for girls. Especially names of male gods. Can we not keep the name of this male god for boys? Naming your daughter Krishna is like naming your daughter ZEUS, GOD, JESUS, or MUHAMMED!

@Anyonymous User who's comment was posted on 10/13/21: I understand what you're trying to say and I respect your opinion. However, I completely disagree with it. I think parents should be free to name their children whatever they want. Personally, I love traditionally-masculine names for girls, such as Blake, Cole, Justin and Logan. I disagree with what you said about how parents only give their daughters these names to be “trendy” or “unique”; I believe that most parents who give their daughters unisex names do so in a beautiful attempt to encourage gender equality.
Also, just because parents are giving their daughters these names does not mean that other parents can't give their sons the same names. In my opinion, it's perfectly fine for a name to cross genders. There's nothing wrong with that. I don't think girls are “stealing” these names from boys. They can share. That's the beauty of unisex names.
Lastly, I disagree with what you said about history: In my opinion, nothing can erase the history of a name. Or any history, really. Let's take the name James, for example: James is a biblical name deeply rich in history: it's been used by kings and rulers, U.S. presidents, the list continues. Therefore, if a woman is named James, it doesn't strip away the history from it. Nothing does.
Overall, I love unisex names, as I, personally, see them as a beautiful way to encourage gender equality and break down gender roles/stereotypes.

Interesting name.

Very handsome name.

Awesome, cool, powerful name.

My name is Krishna and I am a female with no ties to the Hindu Faith. When my mother named me Krishna she had no idea that the name was a Hindu Gods name. She altered the name my father wanted to give me to make it sound more English. Found out later that the name has significant meaning.
I am a young lady and have met many Indian people who all seem to be okay with the fact that my name is Krishna. One elderly lady even told my mother that it sounds beautiful as a girls name and that she believes I will be very blessed in my life.

I can't believe people use this as a girl's name. The majority of the ones who do probably know very little about the source, they just think it sounds pretty or exotic. In my opinion, it sounds metallic and a bit unpleasant. I may be racking up frequent flyer miles to Conclusions here, but I wish people would actually learn about the name.

Hare, hare, hare! I love this archetype of godhood from the Hindu pantheon. But that said, would I name an American, non-Hindu this? No. The Hare Krishna movement in the US, as loving and sweet as the members tend to be, gets a lot of bad press in our country and I think a kid could get some tough biased teasing about shaving his head and "where's your orange toga?" sort of thing if given this name.
