Liberal Republicans give their boys girls names like, Lindsey and Haley.

In the case of those two names, I think it’s more a Southern tradition. The South has always favored surname/family names for their male children.

OTOH, many names we consider feminine were once entirely masculine. For example: Courtney, Evelyn, Darcy, Dana, and Vivien were all once exclusively male.

The half of my family that raised me gave everybody biblical names, which are much meatier and assertive than Amber, Ashley, Liam etc.

My daughter is Rebecca Elizabeth. Becca for short. The other half of my family, Sicilian, everybody is named Michael, Michelle.. with a few Anthonys thrown in.

I think it’s awful to burden a girl with a masculine name and vice versa.
