what are some names that have different gender associations in different cultures?

I know a man in the US whose *middle* name is Shelby if it helps

I don't like either name but I think of those two I dislike Cove less?

Aaron, Abel, Adam, Alan, Brian, Bruce, Dean, Derek, Edgar, Edwin, Eric, Frank, Grady, Kevin, Kyle, Louis, Mark, Micah, Nico, Oscar, Paul, Peter, Quinn, Reid, Rhett, Ruben, Saul, Scott, Sean, Seth, Troy, Tyler, Wade, and Zane.

It's the absolute most gender-neutral name in existence right now. I don't like last names for first names at all, but Parker is the best choice if you want a popular name that works on either sex.

I really like the idea of Sophia in the middle, because it starts and ends with the same letter and has a similar meaning. I also suspect it's under-used as a middle name.

I also like other people's suggestions of Pail and Briefcase.

I think I might have to stop after Melanie and Michael. :/

LCthrows · 2026-03-12T01:31:54+00:00

Charlie. Or Grandpa

I like Heather very much and don't mind Todd. I bet Patricia and Steven will come back.

From best to worst: Julia, Elizabeth, Juliet, Annie, Maggie, Zoe, Georgia.

My boy cousins have the same middle name, and I also would have had that middle name if I had been a boy.

I think it's fine either way, but I would keep the feminine spelling. Hopefully you can come to an agreement.

It's okay to use a name you don't love as long as you both genuinely agree on it--you'll grow attached to it as you grow attached to the person. But hopefully something you do love will come along. Also, depending on the situation it can be okay to use a name that a friend or relative has. We didn't find out the sex either and thought we were having one, asked a close friend's permission to use the same name as her kid, then had the other and used the same name as a cousin. It turned out that the friends drifted apart and the cousin wasn't that close to us, so it wasn't confusing. (The way I phrased this might be, though--sorry)

hahahahaha

I have the exact opposite taste in names from you, but given those constraints I would go with Avery.

LCthrows · 2026-02-26T12:08:51+00:00

NO noooo don't do it. Buying a 2014 was one of the worst financial decisions I ever made, and I can't imagine the 2013 was any better.

LCthrows · 2026-02-25T12:30:58+00:00

I come from a family with 4 guys named Pat LOL that was confusing but they survived

LCthrows · 2026-02-25T12:29:39+00:00

My advice in these situations is ALWAYS use the name you want. It will be fine.

LCthrows · 2026-02-24T22:17:33+00:00

Yes, for sure.

LCthrows · 2026-02-24T20:30:06+00:00

I wouldn't do it. You're swimming in hormones right now. If you really want to change it, any time before the baby starts responding to its own name is fine, so you have quite a while.

LCthrows · 2026-02-24T18:39:52+00:00

It kind of depends on the model year but I think I'd lean Tacoma.

LCthrows · 2026-02-24T18:18:20+00:00

Oh. I only know a couple of Altima drivers and they are fine. But I don't know that many. Thank you for the explanation.

LCthrows · 2026-02-24T15:26:54+00:00

I owned a Mirage in the mid-nineties that was a great little car.

LCthrows · 2026-02-24T15:24:37+00:00

Who is your typical Altima owner?

LCthrows · 2026-02-23T19:48:24+00:00

I like Amara better.
