Help[Opinions] Re: wdyt of Logan
in reply to a message by rascaldog
A friend of mine's 12 year old girl is named Logan, while some girls can pull it off, she's quite the tomboy and has had to endure a lot of teasing because of her name. I think very girlie girls pull off masculine names very well, girls who are not so girlie can come off as androgynous and well.. gay. Logan does shorten well to Lo and that's what my friend's daughter goes by.
I like some masculine names for girls, but Logan is thought of as such a 'guy' name. It's useage is overwhelmingly male, in the 2000's so far, 61,504 male Logans were born compared to 4,723 that's 13 to 1 infavor of the boys, and Logan's been steadily increasing in popularity for boys and decreasing for girls.
While people on babyname message boards understand about this trend of uber-masculine names for girls, small town America still has a lot of it's own ideas about gender identities. From my experience, it's trendy to give a girl a very masculine name in the suburbs, it's not so the thing to do in more conservative places, especially when you're using a name many people have already given to their boys.
