Who likes Unisex names? And why?
I don't.


As a female with both given names being unisex can have problems. As a kid I could'nt go to some friends slumber parties cause parents thought I was a boy,I even got sent to the school nurse with the boys! I used to hate my name.


My mother said she would have given me my name had I been born male or female. (and I have an older brother!)


I still find it amusing when I go to job interviews an someone has altered the spelling and I get 'I thought you were a guy'. Once an accountant lodged my tax return and had decided to spell my name the masculine way, much to my annoyance.


Although I now love my name and laugh off any comments or issues caused by a unisex name, I believe its easier for females to live with but to be a guy and have a name that could be considered 'femine' would be tougher.


When I had a son last year, I gave him a strong masculine name.
Reply:My first name is Peta and although it's a common name, where I grew up it wasn't a popular girls name. People just assumed the spelling was wrong and sometimes changed it. Family and friends called me Pete. And Chike is just a spelling twist for cheeky. Thanx for asking,

But I like names for twins like Leone and Leon, Georgina and George, etc.
Reply:I like unisex names. Particualy is you don't know if you are having a boy or girl and want to select just one name that can be used for either. I really like the name "Ainsley" - it is Galic and means "ones own meadow".
Reply:It's better to name a child after someone in the family line. It shows respect and keeps the lineage going as well. Using "generic" names just doesn't quite cut it.
Reply:My daughters name is Jordan, it's not terribly common for boys or girls but not "out there" either.
