My sibling named her baby girl a classic masculine name ( Think John, Robert , Thomas). I am never going to say anything to her. I am just curious to know people's opinion on it.

She always wanted a boy.This is baby girl n°5. Do you think it is a bit strange to name your girl a very masculine name?

I feel sorry for the child who will spend her life correcting people along the lines of "no sorry, it's John not Joan".

Yes definitely. A call called John would be cruel
