Author	Topic: Please suggest a confusing name!
RBBmom25 Junior Member Posts: 1 From: Registered: Aug 2001	posted 08-28-2001 06:53 PM Would like to know what name (pref. classical) is the most unisex name you know. I have thought of Alex as being girl/boy but others seem to think its more boyish. Is there a name you consider, "hmm, not sure if thats a boy or girl"? Thanks. IP: Logged
Jaye unregistered	posted 08-29-2001 10:55 AM You've opened a subject close to my heart. My name is Jaye and I am female. Because Jay is almost always masculine people almost always assume I'm male when they see my name written. It drives me crazy! So, if you're going to use a unisex name, please use one that is definitely unisex and not one that usually goes one way or the other. Some names that I consider unisex are: Tracy Kelly Jordan Morgan Cary (Kerrie) Terry (Terri) Casey Sidney (Sydney) Payton Then there are names like Pat, Chris, and Charlie that I think of as unisex nicknames for names that are gender specific such as Patrick or Patricia.

Jon&Heather'sMom unregistered	posted 09-15-2001 08:59 AM It's really none of my business, so you don't have to respond to this, but why would you want an ambiguous name? I can see people using unisex names for non-gender-related reasons (eg, naming Terry after his father or naming a daughter Taryn because it's pretty). However, I don't understand why you want a unisex name for the very reason that it's confusing. It's your business and I'm sure you have your reasons, but it brings a question up in my mind (which, again, you're under no obligation to answer!). IP: Logged

I am also confused as to why you want a confusing name. Aren't you worried about your child being teased? Hope I didn't offend... IP: Logged
