[Opinions] Why Kyle when there already are Kyla and Kylie?
in reply to a message by Mo6
Kyle is a boy's name, Kyla and Kylie are girl's names. Why this obsession with boy's names, as if there were not enough female names?So for parents of boys, the only way to avoid having your son to share his name with girls, is giving him very common boring boy's names or a very ugly one. If a girl is named Andrew, there are still so many boys named Andrew that it is felt a boy's name.How long before people telling parent considering Kyle, "No, I know a girl named Kyle, this is too feminine for a boy"?I like Kyle for a boy.

I agreeWhy take boy's names for girls, especially when there are similar-sounding girl's names available?
