Yep, exactly my point.
It's so completely different standards. You can't even use a name that is originally male without copping so much crap.
I knew a boy named Madison and he gets horrible comments from everyone, even random strangers who will even ask if he is gay or transgendered..
But a girl named Kyle, Beau, Finlay or James, gets compliments on her 'strong' name.
As if femininity is a bad thing.. or to be remotely 'girly' is bad.
