What is your favourite girl’s name?

@Rutterman I have always liked Emily 💛

@Rutterman Veronica is OK until they ruin it by calling themselves Ronnie. Why do they do that? 🤔

@NankerPhelge I don't know. Ronnie is awful. 😄

@Rutterman It's absolutely awful for a woman. It sounds like a truck driver. Now before you accuse me of being sexist I know that women can drive trucks as well as men, but lady truck drivers should be called Linda. Ronnie sounds like the lead vocalist on this song (and he really was called Ronnie, as it happens).

@NankerPhelge My mom named all the girls with long names. She refused to shorten them. Long names are unique.

@PoetryNEmotion There's nothing wrong with that, as long as the names are appropriate for the child. But giving a girl a boy's name (or vice versa) leaves the kids wide open to mockery and bullying in school. It's an exercise in cruelty.

@NankerPhelge You are traditional.

@PoetryNEmotion And no bad thing. Would you land a child with a name that leaves them open to mockery and bullying? Wouldn't you say that's cruel?

@NankerPhelge British people tend to be more traditional, correct? My son's name is not traditional. but clearly masculine. I like different names. People don't think about how a name can effect a person's life.

@PoetryNEmotion If people don't think that then they are thoughtless, heartless thugs who are not fit to be parents. What about all the bullying it leaves them wide open to in school? How can anybody say it's not an exercise in cruelty?
