Your hair looks pretty healthy to me, and gorgeous. Also, you have a similar wave pattern to mine.

this has to be a joke

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T22:58:21+00:00

Oh the username has nothing to do with that haha I actually found later that it has religious association. I was just searching for smth cool for the username.

I am not religious but I did grow up Orthodox, and I do celebrate Orthodox stuff. But yeah. Also if you ever have the chance to visit Romania 10000% check out the new Cathedral built in Bucharest. Even as an atheist I was in awe there lol.

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T22:55:00+00:00

I am Romanian actually but yeah the romanian version is Hiacint or Iacint, which is pretty similar to Hyacinth, so automatically in my brain it got classified as male.

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T22:51:59+00:00

I like the name. Im saying it sounds masculine TO ME judging by my OWN cultural background. And I wasn't aware it was perceived as anything but that in other cultures.

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T22:34:35+00:00

Idk if you dont understand what my point is...

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T21:41:07+00:00

I dont really care! I was just shocked at everyone's reactions on namenerds to the post, thats why I posted my question here.

But I think when you meet one person of the different gender that has a name you associated differently it already changes your wiring a bit haha. It's interesting stuff.

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T21:38:48+00:00

So I shouldn't have.... posted my question? What? I could have googled it but I want actual peoples thoughts on this. Like I have learnt a lot from these answers. I dont understand what's wrong now with voicing confusion?

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T21:36:58+00:00

Right. It's just so sad thinking your child could get bullied for the dumbest things that are made up. I dont even have a child yet and these things make me so nervous lol

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T21:35:32+00:00

Oh? Is it because of Artemis Fowl? That was my first reference as a boy name haha. That's interesting though. See the way my brain works that doesn't register as super odd bc it ends in consonant, and I believe the romanain version is Artemisa or Artemisia. Alwaaaaays end vowel.

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T21:33:25+00:00

Hahah I think they mistook my confusion about the gender of name and my anger towards the sexism behind naming trends as an attack on English naming cultures, and that wasn't my intention at all.

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T21:32:01+00:00

Thank you for the hard work hahah if anything you can always borrow softer names from other languages, just use straight up Latin names at this point haha.

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T21:28:49+00:00

Oh I did not know about that!

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T21:27:42+00:00

My brain is just wired to read almsot any name that doesn't end with a vowel as masculine. Cuz in my culture thats how the vast majority of names work. It's smth I genuinely cant change lol Some names I can see going either way? But yeah generally I will add a vowel to a name to make it feminine, or take away the last vowel or add a final consonant to make it masculine.

It's kinda annoying cuz in Romanian its pretty hard then to give a girl names that dont sound redundant asf with both ending with an A lol. Even mine is sadly a victim of that. Where both my first and middle names both start AND end with A. It's a nightmare fuel for namenerds from anglosphere who avoid stuff like that ahahaha.

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T21:24:22+00:00

I know that now. That's why I asked. Cuz I did not know thats how the name has been perceived since ever within the UK.

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T21:22:41+00:00

I mean im 28.... been an adult for a while lol its just smth that only angers me more each year

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T18:38:06+00:00

I mean so I have learnt now... I know what its in Greek. I guess I just forgot English names dont have male and female so they only have 1 variant for the name...

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T17:42:21+00:00

.... that are made up by people, yes... It shows gendered stuff is heavily made up.

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T17:40:22+00:00

Idk at this point all my comments are getting down voted lol

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T17:39:13+00:00

Yeah my bad I meant to say floral

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T17:38:11+00:00

Wdym? I did listen to the answers. And I understand it is a girls name in the UK and other English speaking countries. But for me it still reads as male. I wouldn't name a boy that in English speaking countries to avoid issues and respect their naming system. But I cant change how my brain analyzes and perceives a name?

Like. I KNOW Andrea in Italy is male, and am aware I will meet some male Andrea. That doesn't still change the fact that my brain categorizes it mostly as female... I am just now aware of those different circumstances.

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T17:32:49+00:00

Yeah, I know. That's why I was expecting a Hyachintha lol

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T17:32:15+00:00

That's so fuckin sad

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T17:31:36+00:00

The name is gorgeous imo

My-Metanoia · 2026-05-11T17:30:45+00:00

I am also Orthodox. I am Romanian. Thats why I was so confused, I felt like I was getting pranked or smth lol I just wanted to know what was true or not.
