But Satran cautions that kids “often strongly identify with hyper feminine or masculine roles and objects no matter what you do.”

Hasn't this been something of a trend for a while?

What is the problem with having a gender neutral name?

I'm just going to name my kid rainbow muscle.

It's a gay straight male female gender neutral strong pussy name.

Either Rainbow Muscle or Steve.

Nothing's wrong with it if it's what you want to name your child. But to go out of your way to do it so your child isn't "forced into gender roles" is silly.

It has been. I know a lot of Taylors, Peytons/Paytons, and Jordans.

I think people pick names they like and not because they are gender neutral

If they did Pat today, then there would be a CNN full week of coverage about how insesntivie it is, Lorne Michaels would issue a public apology and SNL would be bitched at for months.

those are at least "normal" names that have been around a while.

Some of the ones from the article like Karter and River just seem forced simply for the sake of being neutral.

SNL caught hell for that ISIS skit, I can only imagine how bad it would be for Pat. Pussification of America

My cousin just did this. They didn't want to know what the sex of the baby was going to be until the birth but said the kid's name was going to be Parker regardless of sex. It was a girl. Fricking terrible.

any man that would tolerate this has no testicles...


I guarantee you, some goofy women are behind this "trend".

These are the same women that post about their food on FB, host gender reveal parties, control the money in a relationship, and have low sex drives.

Thats a solid name for a girl.

I personally like girls with boyish names. Sam, Matty, etc....
