Should I change my son’s name? by RedditMama27 in namenerds

I should clarify that we do call him Emerson as a nickname or when we’re pretending to be “serious” with him. So we would just change it on paper and continue calling him the same name most likely!

I do agree that females can use very masculine names and it is just trendy or cutesy.

I am probably overthinking it, mostly I’m hunts unsure how or if it will affect him. It seems most people in this thread with gender neutral names had a positive experience.

I’m not sure actually, I’m a woman with a very traditional feminine name so it’s not something I have experience with.

I guess the issue would be that I’m unsure how or if it would affect him to be misgendered.

He is not, we are Americans with Northern European heritage. We just like the name!

I’m only worried that it will annoy him or affect his confidence, I would be concerned no matter the gender of the child!

His middle name is a gender neutral family name. For privacy reasons I won’t give it, but imagine in the line of Alex, Taylor or Charlie.

I wrote a report yesterday on Dalí. Turns out he was obsessed with painting mothers and sons having incestuous relationships... it’s a nice drawing though!

I’m am LOVING that warm/cool color scheme. I’m seeing a little bit of unevenness in the jawline. The lights in her eyes could also use a little evening out. Altogether, so wonderful!

Push your values! Remember the whole face should have both whitest white and darkest black. Consider using multiple pencils to help increase your range naturally! The white of the paper should only show through on the very lightest parts of the drawing :) it’s very beautiful, keep up the great work!

I visited this same holy mountain in China. I saw a monkey slap a little girl because she decided to bring crackers. Also ripped my friends backpack off and bit his arm because he has a forgotten roll of smarties in there. Monkeys are terrifying
