The New Trend

So clearly there is a new trend. Loads of names are not female or male anymore....numerous are now unisex! I hate this trend. Yep, sorry I hate this trend. It's okay to have boy names and girl names. What is wrong with society that we all have to suddenly walk in the middle, so to speak? Everything has to be gender neutral so as to not offend anyone. Just my opinion but ultra masculine boy names are not cute on little girls. And I'm not liking that SOOOO many names I look up for this pup-pup is not just a boys name anymore. Every name I consider I have to look up...it's just how I am...I have to make sure it has a decent meaning. Like the name Tristan, cute name and all but it means riot! No thanks! Brody, I like it too but it means "a ditch". Although Brad vetoed Brody based on similarity to Cody. I can understand! Although just between me and anyone that reads this blog...that's what I like about Brody. It is one name I'd look past the meaning for. Just for that similarity to Cody's name. And can anyone argue that "Bro-Bro" isn't cute as heck as well as accurate as a nickname.


Anyway just to enlighten those out there here is a short list of names that have gone to the girls side.

Jonathan..."Jonnie" combined with a delicate floral middle name is popular folks!
Elliott...likely gone to the girl side because of obsession with names starting with that "Elle" sound. 
Wesley....nephew name for me...and forever a boy name to me.
Dylan....nephew name for me....and forever a boy name to me too.
Cody....I estimate when I first heard this as a girl name, my Cody was 8, I remember being annoyed.
Bradley....Um, yeah, husband and father-in-law have this name...forever a manly name to me.
Gary....Are you kidding me? My dad's name, so without question it's a masculine name to me.
Sawyer...Really people? Look at those first 3 letters, visually too masculine for a girl.
Camden....Hmm, I realize Cameron is unisex, kind of a shame though Camden is unisex now too.
Sailor....Another "hmm" from me...kind of a shame it's gone mostly female now.



I get it, there have always been names that are unisex...I'm just saying there's a massive trend happening right now to shift WAY too many names to be gender neutral. I feel sorry for boys actually more than I feel sorry for girls. With more and more girls being given boy names the girls won't be feeling odd about their names. But boys might get a little annoyed since it wasn't that long ago when they didn't have to share their name with girls.
