Nancy asks…
What do you think will be the top five baby names for girls and boys for 2008? Easy 10pts?
What names seem to be popular this year? What do you think are the five most popular boy names? What do you think are the five most popular girl names? You can put middle names with first names if you want, and if you can’t single out five and five, top ten is great too.

Daniel asks…
What do you think of using boys’ names for baby girls?
What does everyone here think of the trend of giving boys’ names to girls? Many of the most popular names now – Makenzie, Madison, Dylan, Riley, Bailey, and others either were once only given to boys or have a distinctly “male” feeling to them. (And yes, all of these names are on the top 100 in the US right now.)
What is the resoning behind this? Is it cute, is it sex appeal, or do parents simply prefer unusual names? Madison is currently #3 for baby girls, so there clearly is a lot of appeal there.
What do you think about this from a feminist perspective?
motonet answers:
I don’t have an issue with the trend of androgynous naming as a general rule. As a society and culture we tend to place significance on the ability to label people and categorize them…we do it by race, gender, language, ethnicity, ect. In a way, using androgynous names slowly bridges the gap between people because on the whole, having a gender neutral name means that people are unable to neatly label someone and dismiss them based on preconceived ideas.
My first and middle names are distinctly male. They are not neutral names that cross over; they are boy’s names to the core. This has been both a blessing and a curse in many ways while I was growing up and later when I began to enter the workforce. I was always listed under the boys categories in school…the most notable instance of this was when I entered college and was not allowed to RUSH for a sorority, but received numerous letters from fraternities. People on the phone always ask for Mr. And yet they inevitably want to speak with me. I have gotten job interviews that I would not have gotten because my name is male and gotten the (amusingly) funny looks when I walk into an interview. I have to carry a copy of my birth certificate around with me to prove I was both named this way by my parents and born female.
