Help[Opinions] Re: "Legitimate" English Unisex names?
in reply to a message by erb816
I'm looking for legitimate first names (what you would call "Christian names"), and ignoring the English-language phenomenom of using surnames as first names.
In any way, I would argue Dana is "traditionally" unisex - surnames were used on boys because they were the ones who passed down the family names. The usage of surnames as first names for girls (rather than middle names, which has been a common pratcise for many centuries) goes back only to 20th century America.
