Alan is a ridiculous name for a girl!!

Gary is much better.

Assuming this is a joke. Obviously no. But just to say Alannah isn't a female version of Alan, it is an anglicisation of an Irish endearment "a leanabh", literally "dear child" (when addressing someone). Not just Alan with a feminine ending.

Alan no, Keith otoh.....

It's ridiculous for a girl and screams - we are so cool and so different ..... not.
