Boys Giving Girls Wedgys Why Is It Seemingly More Okay To Give Boys Names To Girls Rather Than Girls Names To Boys?

Why is it seemingly more okay to give boys names to girls rather than girls names to boys? - boys giving girls wedgys

I'm writing a school paper on issues related to gender and attitudes, as children are in the name of finding and influencing it. I am particularly interested to know why there seems to be more frequent, and thus implicitly socially acceptable to give the names of the girls and boys, but rarely the opposite. And besides, why the names appear most often in confrontation with the children to cross, but rarely in the other direction. All thoughts, anecdotes and opinions on this subject are welcome and would be very useful for me. Also an idea if you think it is good, neutral or bad, and it is something that should be reversed, and if so, how.

I wonder the same thing. I think it's because traditionally, men have more power than women, so that the name of a small girl as a means to empower. This shows he is equally strong / strong / good as any other child. Giving a child a girl's name, I think, makes people assume that it is lower (or maybe gay ...)

I believe that children are the names of recently seen in girls, but there are some names of girls among the children. As:

Ainsley
Alexis
Angel
Ariel
Ashley
Ashlin
Asia
Aubrey
Fall
Courtney
Jessie
Beverly
Carol
Evelyn
Hilary
Jocelyn
Meredith
Shirley
Shannon
Sharon
Vivian

Although the names of the children, which I think is the name of the children is also very important.

very good for this because traditionally boys masculinish will therefore need to have these names, but with girls of his property, because girls can be whatever they want without being laughed at

Like most people consider it acceptable for girls to Wild, but it would be bad for a man to dress and behave like a child. It's just the way the company has trained guess. Rather unfair, if I may say so.

even if they can marry other men marry women they do not really care what their names are not the biggest problems of the girl's name. Some men behave like women and vice versa, if the shoe fits

Interesting! I believe that men are always trying to find more male, but over the years, women are less feminine and masculine. 100 years ago, women would have never thought of them, the same things that you do now. Women are more independent and for some to take over the use of the role of men. However, when naming your child a male first name, not the facilities to be men and do not believe that the cause of the reasons for many people name their children names of the children. I think that over the years, names such as Charlotte, Charlie, Bobbi Roberta Joan Joey shortened, so I think it's neutral, because naming your child a name of certain conditions does not affect their behavior. Names (like everything in life), and this cycle is only a part of this cycle!

I'm Lindsay and I am a friend. Most people think of Lindsay Lohan. But before Lindsay Carson (left wing of the Flyers) and Lindsay Nelson (athlete). I've heard, but I do not know that women like men have a very masculine name. Thus, the biggest worry is is that I am, I always repeat my name, because people always think about that I misunderstood. It makes me up a tree.

I think the girls tend to get names of people, is something new. Women in the United States wants to take on traditional gender roles - in the military, the bread winner, be a lawyer Trial - whatever. And it is with names. That is what I think.

I do not think it is good or bad. Personally, I love women who love women. And they do like girly things. I do not care if they are to run a full marathon, or riding a bull or something.

I think this is part of a larger problem the behavior of children in a male, but not vice versa. It must be ok for girls, pants and tie, if you want, but not for boys to wear skirts. It is okay for girls to play with trucks, but not so much for children to play with dolls.

I do not know how this trend myself. I think it is something good, old unique names like Joyce, Meredith, and Shannon, which sound good on men. If people want it enough, I think we can begin to recover some of the names of the children in old age, because as the "old" anyway, and less on the use of girls. Children can not choose their friends at school with a girl's name "out". The generation of intersection names in use today, such as Madison, so I think it will take decades to change it.
