What’s your opinion on using a traditionally/commonly used ‘boy’ name for a girl? Too weird or do you like it?
I’ve heard names like Wyatt, James, Billie, Jude, Rory etc all being used for girls and wondered if this was something you loved or hated!

WeBuilt Julian/Juliana (both names are used) are later names given to a woman whose actual name is not known. The names are taken from the church where the woman was a hermit. The woman dictated her writings anonymously.

The church is dedicated to either St Julian the Hospitaller or St Julian of Le Mans. No-one knows. Both were men.

The woman was named after the church; that tells us nothing at all about the 'real' name she had in life.

Hate it! I always think the parents wanted a boy or are trying too hard to not stereotype their child!
