Wasps not giving Christian names is pretty old.

That's the main reason I think, we have so many people going by initials.

I agree with all these comments.

What has happened to traditional names like, Starshine, Moonbeam, Venus, and Tiger? :confused1: (All names given to children in the 1960s.)

It never occurred to me to give any of my children names that were saints and sounded normal in an American household. Yes, I'm afraid we have no child named Polycarp Athenasius.

Since when were the names you just used traditional? The name Hilary (for instance) has been around as a MALE name since the 4th century up until the 20th century.

Edit: Your use of italics confused me.

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:

How about Stevie! Ive heard it for a girls name several times.

What REALLY annoys me is the current trend of little boys with little girl length hair!
