Author Topic: Why are little girls given traditionally boy names? (Read 6507 times)

A very annoying trend that has only started within the past 100 years is the naming of little girls with boy names. For example, names like Ashley, Hilary, Aubrey, Jordan, Augustine, etc. are being used as girl names. This phenomena appears to be the result of modernism sinking its teeth into the world.

How often do you hear anyone naming their boys with girl names? Many boys with "girly" names these days don't actually have girly names at all. They have names that were manly until the modernists decided to change everything. So what's with this practice? No one gives their boys girl names so why do they do the opposite to girls?

Don't give your children the names of the opposite sex. That's ridiculous. Some people justify doing this by deciding in the microcosm of their own mind that the names aren't really masculine. They're "unisex". Please.... :smash-pc:

What's much more common, and much more ridiculous, is giving boys AND girls LAST NAMES for a first name.

Hunter, colton, pearce, mckenzie, etc.

No name is too "last name" for people to choose it for a first name.

Fortunately my last name is that of a great, early saint. Had my father and mother have been married, I would not have this profound Catholic name. Even though it is a female name and a first name, I am thankful for it.

From a recent CNN story:

Quote

Abigail Carter, her son Carter and her daughter Olivia have been living on a payout from the September 11 Victims Compensation Fund following the death of her husband Arron Dack.

So the wife didn't change her last name -- and they chose the wife's last name for the son's first name.

Stupid!

I know, it's incredibly stupid. What's wrong with giving people actual names? I would want my boys to be named with boy names and girls to be named with girl names, not the other way around or with giving them last names as first names. That's stupid.
