    I'm all for gender equality but not for disregarding gender as gender identification is an important part of the human experience. I do not mind nontraditional names as middle names. If one loves the sound of McKenzie, why not go with Deirdre McKenzie for a girl? Purposely misspelled names make my teeth itch, especially when referred to a creative.

    I Think Boys names on girls are stupid like Jaxon,Dylan,Ryan,Cameron,Spencer,Taylor,Riley,Hayden Etc but there are some names which i see as girl names because now a days they are much more common on girls like Madison,Peyton,Addison,Skye etc i could not imagine a boy with these names.

    I dislike misspelled names and i think they look stupid, like Ameigh should be spelled Amy and Emeleigh should be spelled Emily. I think Mckayla looks really ugly spelled Mckayla... although my name is Mekayla which is not the correct spelling of the name, The correct spelling is Michaela and another common spelling is Mikayla. I like my name even though its not "correct" as i think it does not look stupid like the spellings McKayla or Makailah etc

    I completely agree with you! I hate boy names on girls. They're boy names for a reason. And butchered spellings looks terrible. Girls named Dylen and Bradee are just ugh

    You are not the only one.

    I'm with you. I really dislike masculine names on girls and I really dislike horrible spellings. I really do not see the point or need in butchering a name.

    I hate them both. I literally find it disgusting when I read a name that says "Dylan" or "Ryan" only to find out its a GIRL. Parents, there are plenty of beautiful girls names out there, why burden your child with a boys name? And misspelled names drive me nuts! They don't make your child unique or different, they just make the parents seem uneducated and give the children frustration and problems throughout life.
