Female names have changed. The young girls in my neighborhood are Sheridan, Cameron and Madison.

And Kendall, Kennedy, Parker, and Hunter

A name is a name. I don't have a problem with it.

Debic, the names Gale and Shirley were originally masculine names.

Female and male first names overlap in this day and age. I have no problem with that. That practice should be a plus for female Internet users ~ keeps sexual predators guessing.

For about the last decade, Dakota has been my favorite gender-neutral name.

I use the short male version of my first name.

I feel like it gives me an extra layer of anonymity on paper/screen.

And face-to-face, people really don't care what you call yourself.

@LoriLori I read that, too, and I hate it. It's a stupid name for a female. I'm hoping it's at least short for something, like Sybil maybe. Even so, it's a stupid name.

@smoky22, hahahahaha, I was going to post about this but decided to read the whole thread first and I see that I already did, in August. Old thread but still a stupid name. (And I was not impressed with her in the few clips they showed during the Christmas show.)
