America Where Art Thou? : Gender Neutral Baby Names on the Rise
Excerpt from CBS News
NEW YORK — Whether Royal, Charlie or Salem, Skyler, Justice or Oakley, unisex names for babies are on the rise among parents more willing than ever to embrace the possibility of gender fluidity in their children and attempt to head off sexism on their behalf. “We’re definitely seeing more conversation today around the distinction of a truly gender-neutral name,” said Linda Murray, global editor-in-chief of BabyCenter.com. “This generation is truly interested in gender neutral names.”
Oakley?!!! What a horrible name to be stuck with.
In 20 years the names above will likely identify the parents of the young adults as politically correct idiots.
AMERICA’S FUTURE LEADERS?
The Social Security Administration puts out a top 10 list of popular baby names every year based on its registrations, but it also keeps track of names on the rise in its top 1,000. Name-watchers said crossovers and more neutral names haven’t overtaken the top spots but are more heavily represented in the broader ranking, especially among millennial parents.Millenials! What a lost generation of politically correct indoctrinated fools, unable or unwilling to think for themselves.
Pop culture and honoring family or religious history are important in baby naming, as is the cool factor. But more names are being used for either sex regardless of which gender they were originally associated with, and neutral naming has become a flashpoint for debate.Kinkler? Would that be a Jewish name?
“We chose a gender-neutral name, Riley, for my daughter,” said Lori Kinkler, a psychologist in San Antonio, Texas. “We knew her sex, but gender is fluid and yet to be determined. Of all the difficulties faced by those who live beyond, or across, the binary, we didn’t want name-changing to be one of them. … I like that she feels she has options and knows she’ll be accepted by us no matter what.” Riley is 3.
That psycho-babble of Kinkler invites mockery. If a pre-school boy says he’s a girl or a girl says she’s a boy, it doesn’t make it so.
Pamela Redmond Satran, co-writer of “The Baby Name Bible” and “Cool Names for Babies,” blogs about baby-naming and is also co-founder of the baby name site Nameberry.com, which crunches about 50,000 names every which way.Yeah, well I’m sure that blacks think the names Jamal, D’tanisha or whatever are cool. Other people aren’t impressed.
Satran says the interest in embracing potential gender fluidity is “an important reason but it’s not the only reason. In fact, a lot of people choose unisex names because they think they’re cool or they’re meaningful to themselves but they raise their kids in a very gender-specific way.”
Millennials aren’t the only ones to give their kids gender-neutral names. Kyle Good grew up in the 1950s, the middle of five children and the only sibling with a gender-crossing name, based on a performer her father liked.Isn’t it wonderful to know in advance that you’re going to confuse people!
“My partner is named Jerry, for Gerald, so when we get introduced as ‘Kyle and Jerry’ most people think I’m Jerry and he’s Kyle,” she said.
Kirsten Hammann, 45, in the San Francisco Bay area, and her husband named their daughters Teagan and Sigrid. She considers both names gender neutral.When people have names associated with their sex, it’s easier for other people to remember their names. At least it would be for me. I often had 600 students a semester and keeping up with their names was difficult. I do remember a thin black girl whose middle name was Mahogony, which is a dark colored wood. I think there might have been a movie by that name which inspired her name.
“Sigrid is technically a girl’s name but because it’s so uncommon in the U.S. it reads as gender neutral to most people,” she said. “The gender neutrality was not something my husband and I discussed explicitly and I would say it was more in my mind knowing firsthand the hurdles women face across so many areas of life. Whether we like it or not, names that skew a little masculine, or less feminine, are perceived as stronger, and I wanted that for my girls.”
Satran said some gender neutral-names follow other trends, such as choosing traditional last names as first names (hello, Madison) or bits of geography and nature: Lake, Blue, Dakota. And spellings have long signaled gender in names that sound the same: Yves vs. Eve.
In a few countries, unisex names are forbidden by law: Portugal, Denmark and Iceland. Local registrars decide in Germany if an unusual name would negatively impact a child.
Women rather than men are probably picking out these fuxated names. The thing that these irresponsible, ignorant parents don’t understand is that the (((globalists))) want to destroy masculinity and femininity. One gender, one currency, one world government, ruled by the Synagogue of Satan.
