How horrible are parents who name girls with boys' names & vice versa?

Logan as a girl's name is almost as bad as parents who come up with different spellings and pronounciations for their child's name!

How horrible are parents who name girls with boys' names %26amp; vice versa?
I don't neccesarily think it's horrible to name a boy "Logan" because to me that is a boy's name. I think it's horrible when parents name their kids things like Pilot Inspektor, Fishhook, or Shithead (pronounced Shuh-tay). It's horrible when you pick your kids' names by throwing Scrabble tiles against the walls and seeing what they get out of it!
Reply:Why so they hate the own children?
Reply:I kinda like it actually.
Reply:I don't think that the gender roles are nearly as bad as the absurd spellings and just made up names for children.





At least when you see the name "Logan" on a job application you don't laugh and throw it in the trash.
Reply:I pity all the preschoolers around now with the weird spellings and names.





Trust your child to grow up and distinguish themselves.





Weird spellings just make the parents look ignorant.


Sorry to those of you who have done it, but its true.
Reply:Honestly, I dont think parents are horrible if they choose to give their girls boys name and vice versa. It's their preference, they know what they want and like. It's a little thing called Unisex refering to both girls %26amp; boys. To me names like Logan, Jordan, and Skylar are unisex names. Next, I am a big fan of different spellings, most names now days are becoming too popular and diffrent spellings makes the name unique!
Reply:Way less horrible than unoriginal parents who name the kids after themselves because they are too lazy or boring to think up something different. I would never name my kid William or John or David or Andrew or Jennifer or or Mary or any of the top 10 most common names of the year he or she is born. Shows that parents lack any imagination or too traditional for my taste. I think there are plenty of interesting names without going for the most popular ones or the overly weird.





I also don麓t think a kid should be named after a living relative unless they are dying of some terminal disease.





I think names can have some meaning, sound good with the last name, and still be unique and interesting.
Reply:I think its just ridiculous...


A friend told me she plans on naming her daughter 'Israel'...UGH!
Reply:Horrible
Reply:I think it is kinda creative, actually. Logan is not a girls name, but it could be.
Reply:I knew a guy in high school named Shannon. He was made fun of all the time. I would never do that to my child.
Reply:What's in a name?





In attempts to find "different" names to steer from common names, they somehow think it's "cool" I guess. I should talk, I nicknamed myself "Wickwire" and doesn't that sound masculine? OMG, I'm one of them!!





Shirley used to be a common mans name until Shirley Temple came along.
Reply:I think that the different spellings and made-up names are by far worse. I don't see many parents who actually name girls with boys' names %26amp; vice versa. Most of those names are unisex to begin with.





And either way, it's not like a child is stuck with the name for life! He or she can change it when they are 18 (or earlier if you give them permission).
Reply:I'm SO guilty of this. I would love to name a boy Kelley and the lady who does my nails named her daughter Tommi-Lynn. I think its awesome, but you almost have to know how the kid will be as he gets older. Kelley has to be the poetic type, he can't look like Conan O'Brien, ya know?
Reply:NOT HORRIBLE AT ALL.

HOW ABOUT THAT?
Reply:Ive thought that naming is arrogance.





Why should a child be stuck for life with a set of syllables that you like, and have that associated with their inner self? What right do you have to do that to a child?





I'm thinking of giving my child a temporary name until their personality is fully formed, then rigorously, deeply studying and understand them, their loves, and inner nature, and then giving the child a true-name where the outer name is more representative to their inner self.
Reply:I completely disagree, I think boys names are very cute for girls. Now giving a boy a girl name is a little sad. I think that giving a girl a boy's name gives her an advantage in the business world later on when someone scans her resume and can't discriminate based on sex. Logan is totally cute for a girl. If I have a girl, I'd love to give her a gender-neutral name instead of something ultra-girly.
Reply:logan for a girl is pretty bad
Reply:How do you figure? They are just looking for some originality for their child, a chance to stick out and not have to deal with being one out of 6 Katie's or Dylan's in their class. I don't think it's up for you to decide because for all you know the child likes their name! Who are you to say what is right and wrong for a parent to do? Are you even a parent and even know what you're talking about?
Reply:Just terrible!
Reply:Names like Stacy and Leslie used to be exclusively boys' names. No one blinks an eye if a girl has these names now. Language is a living, changing thing. Sure Bob would be pretty lame for your daughter, but there are plenty of other names that would work wonderfully for either sex. My wife and I plan on naming our daughter Gideon which was her maiden name.
Reply:if it doesnt sound too bad, i think its creative actually
Reply:AMerica is a melting pot. A name that we may think is strange may be very common somewhere else in the world. We need to have an open mind and not judge others by the name their parents came up with. I'm personally partial to classic names, and don't like many of the names people choose, but it's not my decision. Every parent has that right.
Reply:The strange spellings take some getting used to but a girl with a boy name is a no no for me as the child will always be mistaken for a boy until she is seen.
Reply:The gender of a name is nowhere near as bad as the absurd so called creative names that are picked out of who knows where.
