Why not "Thing", so it can decide later what it is, since in only a few more years simple gender identity will be so yesterday.

For some reason my neighborhood as a kid was thick with them. Teddy, Kim, Dana, Terry to name a few.

Sly Stallone named his kid Sage Moonblood. Other stupid celebrity baby names - Kyd, Apple, Pilot Inspektor, Crimefighter, Audio Science, Jermajisty, Ya’Majesty, Pirate, Speck Wildhorse, Buddy Bear, Blue, Bear Blu, Poet, Peyote, Rocket, Banjo, Bandit, Camera, Racer, Hero, Sailor, Puma, Bamboo, Bow-Ty, and Hud.
I knew a kid named Bronco Billy and that was on his birth certificate. Then there was a guy named Service. And another guy was named Serious Curious because his mama was curious who his daddy was and had serious birthing pains. Is it any wonder the last guy was in prison.

Mmmm my mom’s name was Tommie. She was the last born of nothing but girls and was named for her father.

My moms name was straight up Tommie on her birth certificate. Not short for anything. She was named after her dad.
Had she lived she would be 79.

Personally, I LOVE the name!
To: TontoKowalski
I was given a particularly hard name to spell or pronounce - it's from a Celtic language. I wouldn't give my kid a strange name if my life depended on it. Luckily, as a Catholic, I only use Anglicized saints’ names.

Nope. Just gutless cowards with no standards.

When we named our son, we liked "Matthew." We didn't know any children with that name, it was Biblical, it was serious-sounding. A name for a Supreme Court judge, but could be shortened to All-American boy status... "Matt".
I suppose every expecting family in the country had the exact same idea at the same moment, because he had tons of classmates with the name. It was the "most popular" name for boys that year.
My true first name is not the name I've been known by my entire life. I'm a second name guy. That's what I wouldn't saddle a kid with.

Is it "Sioban"? I think I'm spelling that correctly.
I've never known how to say that, but I think it has a "v" sound in it.

Does "Bruce" qualify?

No, it’s worse plus it has two accent marks. Yeah, the name you mention is pronounced “Schavawn.” I love the name “Sorcha” but don’t know how it’s pronounced. The name “Aine” is pronounced “Onya” which sounds beautiful but looks awful.

Christopher, Alexander, Steven and Leah.

Most names from the Bible are nice and Matthew is particularly nice. Sorry it was popular that year! I grew up in the era of Debbie and Cathy and Patty. How I wanted a name like that.

And these same folks are the ones who complain when you ask what the child’s gender is. People with common sense cannot win in this topsy turvy world.

It’s more likely more people waiting to find out their child’s gender upon birth (not through ultrasound) and have picked a neutral name ahead of time.
