Naming your daughter a boy's name, yes or no ?

[Momto2girliess]

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?

@Serpenta

I always think nigella and thomasina's parents DEFO wanted boys.

Agree completely. The other sister is called Horatia...

But they did have a boy ....Dominic.

Why

Poor kid

I agree this trend is totally sexist - not only are boys never given girls' names but fewer and fewer boys are even given names that used to be unisex Hilary, Evelyn etc as these names are now seen as exclusively for girls.

I think it's strange that Noah has become so popular for boys.

It sounds like a girl's name.

Are you not familiar with the Biblical character?
It's very much male associated.

Oscar was originally a girls names so goes against the grain of boys names being used for girls.

And where did you get that from? I found no evidence of this claim.
Example below, but no other site I looked makes any such claim either.
