Naming a girl a boys name and vice versa?

My friend's daughter (who is a weirdo to begin with,) just named her baby girl a boys name. I told my friend, why doesn't she talk to her and try to dissuade her from doing that. Not only is the baby unattractive like her mom (poor kid,) but now she'll grow up being teased about her name. How can someone do this to a kid? It reminds me of the old Johnny Cash song "A Boy Named Sue." Feedback appreciated.

Naming a girl a boys name and vice versa?
I absolutely hate when people give their son a girls name (i.e. Ashley). You're just asking for him to get teased his whole life. Although I don't mind some of the boy names given to girls - like Ryan or Jayden. I guess its kind of a double standard.
Reply:lol good song





but what did she name her because a lot of girls are getting boy names now, so being named Jordyn or Dylan isn't abnormal





I like Noa , which is a girls name! Noah is a boys name, Noa is a girls its Japaneses, and its in the bible as a girl name too, aside from noah's ark.

Reply:I don't know whats the name?


some names are for either like Jordan.

has a daughter Spencer.
Reply:Don't be so sure.





Lots of traditionally boys' names have been adopted for use as girls' names, and not just in recent years. Ashley was once a masculine moniker, but it has long since become a widely accepted girl's name. The same thing is happening for Aubrey and Avery ... and there are 25 more letters in the alphabet!





That said, it seems harder for a boy to have a feminine name than for a girl to have a boyish one. If she'd name her son Betsey or Jennifer, maybe it would be cause for concern. But if she named her little girl Lyle? That's probably just fine.





Frankly, I think you're quite cruel to dismiss your friend's child as a wierdo and your friend's grandchild as unattractive. And perhaps she's not interfering with the child's name because a) the ink is already dry on the birth certificate, so why argue now and b) she prioritizes her relationship with her family above being right.
Reply:i know a girl named darian and no one makes fun of her.


quite frankly shes hott
Reply:Feedback? No problem. You're rude!





But seriously, why do you care so much what she names her baby? It's her baby and her choice. I know a girl named Brandon, a few Caseys, and Corys... There is nothing that says you HAVE you use a gender specific name for your kids.
Reply:What was the name? There are lots of boys names that are used as girls names. And how can you say that a baby is unattractive? All babies are cute!!
Reply:It is very rude of u to insult a friend's daughter, however it is wierd.If she really wants a name like that she should choose ones for both genders


Casey


Brook


Drew etc...
Reply:Well, depending on the name there may be a girls way to spell it. like adding an "a" at the end. good luck
Reply:Well it is her child so in the end it was her choice but it depends on the name given to either a boy or a girl. Some aren't so bad others are kind of scary.
Reply:It really depends on what the actual name is.


Like I like the name Peta for a girl and have known boys named Ashley. None of the people I've known with names of the opposite sex were teased.


When I was little my Mum had friends and they had named their daughter Sam and their son Shannon or something. Now we all thought that was weird. But they were their names and they suited them.


So i really depends on what the name actually is.
Reply:Wow, if this woman is your friend, you're not a very kind friend, calling her ugly and weird.





It depends on the name. Names like Jordan, Avery, Harper, Aiden, Sam, Brett, and Taylor are all acceptable names for both genders. Then, there are names like Thomas, George, Matthew, and Joseph that are very clearly boy's names, not a girl's. So, it all depends on what the name is. You could just be old-fashioned and rude. That's my vote.
Reply:You know what? I actually know some guys named Sue. Perhaps your friends daughter wanted a baby boy instead? I know of a family who, after 5 boys, named their 6th son a girls name because they really wanted a girl.
Reply:what did she name him?


its really wierd you get so many little kids with names that should be for the opposite sex
