Naming their son "Jocelyn" or "Kay"?

Men should not have girls names. As a corollary, no man's name should end with female endings like "lynn", "lyn", or "ette".

As my dad used to say, "The parents should be spanked."

Interestingly, giving your child a name that would cause him hell in school (i.e., practically FORCE classmates to pick on them)
was a "thing" for The Greatest Generation -- the parents of the Baby Boomers, and the guys who fought World War 2.

Modern generations might be idiots in some ways -- but at least they don't do this. They do other dumb things: e.g., give their kids last names for a first name, like Preston, Kennedy, Reagan, Clinton, Colton, Hunter, Addison, etc. And modern man-children name their kids after superheroes (like Logan, the real name of Wolverine in the X-men series). BUT THEY DON'T GIVE UNAMBIGUOUS GIRLS NAMES TO THEIR SONS.

Actually, even if a few modern idiots did give their son a girls name, it would be for DOGMATIC reasons -- they want to raise him genderless, because they're woke, etc. They'd have a reason -- their religion is wokeness. They don't believe in 2 genders. They are f****ts. They are horribly wrong yes, but it's their belief. THEY HAVE A REASON even if a bad one.

But what is the reason or excuse for these Greatest Generation morons for giving their sons a girls' name? Usually it's the classic "Daddy wanted a daughter." And what, Dad was such a big pouting baby that even after a son was delivered, he gave him a girls' name anyway out of stubbornness? Grow up, already! Try to think of your children instead of your dumb selfish self. They have to live with that name!

I think such parents will be judged by God for what they've done to their children. Think of all the emotional damage, the unending teasing/bullying, consequent effects on their personality/career/marriage choices, and how many of these children became perverts (s***mites and/or trans***uals) because they bore a girls' name. Names are an intimate part of WHO YOU ARE, and names have meaning!

Jocelyn and Kay were both men's names originally. 

Years ago I was discussing "Sirens of Titan" with someone and he kept referring to "Muh-lah-chee" Constant....I interrupted and asked innocently "Do you mean Malachi"?  This dude insisted that the character was named "Muh-lah-chee". 

Some hills aren't worth dying on.

Actually, this dude’s pronunciation of Malachi makes sense.
The English language is a strange hotch potch of variations in spelling and pronunciation. I take my hat off to those who master it as a second language.

Thaddeus? Do you count the replacement? If so, then I could ask: Matthias?

You say it's 3 syllables, so you can eliminate Peter, John, Matthew, Thomas, Bartholomew, James, James, Andrew, Simon, Philip

I'm a big fan of naming after the Apostles. Unfortunately I only had 2 boys (but 7 girls!) And the first was the oldest, and for that, I went by the Catholic custom of naming the first son "Dominic" rather than the competing custom of naming him "Joseph". Then there's the more worldly custom of naming him after yourself -- didn't do that either.

He got an Apostolic middle name though. But actually that middle name goes WAY back in my family, to my Great-Grandfather at least. He's at least the 5th in his line to bear that middle name.

I named my first son Dominic, mostly because I like the name.  did not know it was any kind of tradition.  My mom reacted "ewe,, that sounds too Italian"  my mom was a peckerwood.  me I am half Sicilian .  I always say I am half Italian-half ashamed of myself.  

I also get irritated by all of the dumb names people give to their children. There are so many Cayden, Jayden, Hayden, Peyton, Jackson, Braxton, etc.

I wince internally when I hear these names, especially with the boy names that end in “den”.  I imagine most of these names are picked by the mothers, thinking of their cute little baby boys. They choose these “cute” names instead of strong, traditional names that boys can grow into men feeling dignified.

A name says a lot. It says a lot to who you are to yourself and who you are to others.  If I were to meet a 50 year old man named “Camden” I would have to overcome my first impression of them being childlike and effeminate before I could actually ascertain their true character. What a disservice parents do to their boys by giving them a slippery foothold into masculinity from the very get go. And imagine what a name like that does to the psyche of a boy! It sure does not encourage them towards growing in masculinity.

Time for that corny old joke. We can laugh about ourselves too, can't we? (The "we" includes me, to be clear.)

A couple was rushing to the hospital with their firstborn rapidly on the way. The new father wakes up in the emergency room and panics:

Dad: What happened? Where's my wife? Where's the baby?
Nurse: You were in a car accident, but everything is OK! Your wife is doing fine, and you have twins, a boy and a girl.
Dad: "Grazia a Dio, U Signure e tanto buono!" But the babies have to be named as soon as possible by their closest adult male relative or they'll be cursed!
Nurse: Don't worry, your wife told us about that, so we called your brother.
Dad: My brother? He's such a prankster. Oh no, what did he do this time?
Nurse: Your daughter is named Deniece.
Dad: Deniece? That's not so bad. And my son?
Nurse: Denephew.

Yes. In that setting it’d be great!

I also commonly see it spelled like “Camdyn” for boys. Same as Cameron, which wouldn’t be a bad name in the traditional sense but “camryn” is a common modern spelling for it now.

One family at our neosspx mission have three boys: Cameron, Liam, and Becket (as in St. Thomas A)

I also get irritated by all of the dumb names people give to their children. There are so many Cayden, Jayden, Hayden, Peyton, Jackson, Braxton, etc. What I find funny is that these mindless trend followers think that they're giving their kids a unique name, lol! When in reality, if I were to send any of my boys to a public school (we homeschool, so this is a hypothetical) they would likely be the only kid in the class with a normal Catholic saints name. Meanwhile, there would be 3 different boys named Brayden in their class. So original. It's like tatoos. What used to be something unique a few decades ago, is now absolute conformity. Everyone is walking around with ink and piercings, so there is nothing unique about them.

These are what I call the epicene, British-sounding, six- or seven-letter names, and they're all the rage.  A couple of decades ago, it was Irish-sounding names, and "Caitlin", for instance, got spelled all sorts of ways.  (But they didn't dare appropriate something like "Niamh" or "Caiomhe".  No way would anyone outside of Irish cultural awareness even begin to pronounce them correctly, "neeve" and "k[w]ee-va" respectively.)

Incidentally, my first, middle, and last names could each be used as a first or last name, and wouldn't sound in the least bit affected.
