Partly to prove a point to DH, partly to confirm my thoughts is the above name for a boy or girl in your mind?

You could just verbalise 'DS1' etcGrin

TheSandman · 15/07/2020 13:36

It’s a popular girls name in America

That's hardly a recommendation seeing who they voted in as President.

Hm, maybe I should have called DD Numbers?

The Charlie Chan method. My kids answer to "Number One Daughter", "Number Two Daughter" and "Number One Son". It's a feck of a lot easier than remembering the little buggers' names.

Well Genesis Lynea is certainly (a gorgeous) female!

Hiccupiscal · 15/07/2020 11:47

neither, and its horrible.... but thats not what you're asking...
I would assume male.

CuppaZa · 15/07/2020 00:16

I don’t see it on a boy or a girl

the origin of something, when it is begun or starts to exist:
The story had its genesis in a conversation the author had with his mother.
research into the genesis of cancer

the first book of the Bible, which describes how God made the world

(Cambridge Dictionary)

LightDrizzle · 15/07/2020 00:07

I quite like the sound of Leviticus for a boy!
Except for the fact that it isn’t a name and is a (spectacularly dull) Book of the bible.

louderthan · 15/07/2020 00:04

Please don't call a baby Genesis. Please.

MissMarplesHandbag · 15/07/2020 00:01

It would actually be a very good name for a horse. But definitely not a human.

alexdgr8 · 14/07/2020 23:58

@utterlynutty

It's the first book in the Old Testament.
this. it means the beginning of everything. just a tad pretentious for any mere human, don't you think. or maybe not, to judge by some MNers...

ErrolTheDragon · 14/07/2020 22:41

Anyway... i can't imagine anyone who has read Genesis naming a child, and especially not a girl, after it.Confused

Addler · 14/07/2020 22:38

I know one and he's male. From the Philippines, religious family.

ErrolTheDragon · 14/07/2020 22:37

How about Deuteronomy

Nah, that's a cat.

Onestepup · 14/07/2020 22:32

How about Deuteronomy

Grin Or Ecclesiastes? Actually I think they sound rather sophisticated...

TheSandman · 14/07/2020 22:31

As previous posters have said, it’s not a name for boy or girl.

Unless you are in a weird cult.

HMSSophie · 14/07/2020 22:31

Hahaha how about Exodus for the second one, or go flat out with Letter to the Ephesians

Starbuggy · 14/07/2020 22:30

I would assume girl

The only one I know of is female and known as Gen or Genny (pronounced like Jen or Jenny) for short

Onestepup · 14/07/2020 22:26

Sounds like a boy's name to me.

Tillygetsit · 14/07/2020 22:24

There was one on Emmerdale Blush who was definitely a woman.

GoshHashana · 14/07/2020 20:44

*staffie

GoshHashana · 14/07/2020 20:44

Awful, for either a boy or a girl.

Parents who use it would probably have a staff named Diesel or Tyson.
