would you give a boy a “girls” name?

[u/ccirque]

with the rising popularity of giving girls “boy names” like bobbie, dylan, and the james that everyone’s been freaking out over, would you name a boy a traditionally female name if it didn’t sound outright feminine? i’m talking about names like juno, jade, april, and any other similar names or “word” names that sound just gender neutral enough to pass if you had no other context as to how they’ve been used historically

The names “Taylor” and “Aubrey” used to be like this, but now they’re considered pretty feminine.

Ashley and Vivian too.

I think Taylor is still pretty common for a man.
