Name inspiration for our surprise gender

[ddynesgathwallgof]

Looking for inspiration for some underused/not too popular, strong and handsome boys names and similarly for girls, underused names that are either frilly and feminine or short and sweet. Hoping for both gender names to pass the doctor/judge test if possible, but still a little different? Fire away! 👍🏼

@FawnDrench I love that my name is actually included in your one syllable names. I've loved having a different name so hope to give that feeling to my children too!

I doubt you'll find out the baby's gender until it's at least 10 years old. Do you mean sex?

@mrsjoshnavidi I'm not looking to get into a debate I'm afraid.

Sheesh! Why do you want to have frilly and feminine, strong and handsome? Talk about stereotyping a child before it’s even born!
And yes, it’s the sex you’ll find out now, gender depends on societal factors, not chromosomes.

@soontobe60 sorry, did I disagree with anyone? No. It's a personal choice and I asked for inspiration only. As above, I don't want a debate regarding sex/gender. I'm just here for name suggestions!

@NewName54321 Colette and Josephine are beautiful, thank you!

But it is sex. Nothing to debate. You're finding out the biological sex. This has nothing to do with trans issues, just correct English.

@devildeepbluesea love Taliesin and Glensi (they're two I haven't heard much of before which is refreshing)

@roarfeckingroar I'm not disagreeing

@ddynesgathwallgof DD would have been Taliesin had she been a boy. I've always loved the name Glesni for a girl but DH was having none of it. I think it's gorgeous.

@devildeepbluesea both gorgeous names! I also like Wyn and Griff!
