Genesis

[AdultFishcakes]

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

How about Deuteronomy

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

Nah, that's a cat.

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

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

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...

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

Please don't call a baby Genesis. Please.

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.

I don’t see it on a boy or a girl

I would assume male.

Well Genesis Lynea is certainly (a gorgeous) female!

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

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.

You could just verbalise 'DS1' etc
