Help[Opinions] Re: Unisex Name: London
in reply to a message by Brendon_CB
Yeah, it's very similar to Landon, a name I heard used on some boys growing up, so I can see it as masculine. I don't like Londyn though - London is better.
I found the city of London to be a very strange place. When I was there, it was just as they were lifting some restrictions during the pandemic, so the place had a distinct post-apocalyptic feel to it. I walked all the way from the Houses of Parliament to my hotel near Spitalfields one day, and sometimes I was the only person on the street. It really freaked me out. Imagine going to New York City, and nobody was there?! Still gives me the shivers.
So by that association, the name has a very haunting, liminal quality to me, it feels very "wrong". Which is a pretty gender neutral alignment to me.
