Male/Female names

What about unisexual-type names that be given to both female and male?

Eg: Lynn, Tracy, Rob, Pat, Nicky, Charlie, Kelly, Ali, etc.
 
My namesake...Shirley :)

The name Ruth is quite vile.
I have no idea what my parents were thinking, as it's the name of a Jewish grandmother, and I am neither :lol:

Has anyone ever called you Ruthy...and do they still have the use of their legs?
 
What I don't get is the Gaelic pronounciation of many names. Other Friday on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown, The name was spelled "Aisling" - pronounced "Ash-Leigh"

Or sometimes I wonder with some names and it looks as if spelled incorrectly - dyselxic or thick parents, or trying to be "cool" yet failing.

It's a nice name but it's a odd name IMO to give a white person...but I suppose Balsa dosnt make as good of a name

Now, I'm sure it wasn't intentional Matt but here we have stereo typing and borderline racism together. To suggest it's an 'odd' name to call a white girl and the balsa quip is simply crass imo. Not funny.

It's the other way around.
Aisling (prounounced as you said, in Gaelic), has been Aglicised (sp?) into generic English as Ashley (or any other version :lol: )

No I'm not playing the sensitive type so don't even try to patronise me. You'll note I said it was my opinion and it is. I found your comments after I told you my niece was called Ebony quite offensive and had you or anybody else said that to my face instead if from behind the safety of their keyboard you'd see how much of a delicate flower I am.

If I was going to start making fun of morbidly obese folk either directly or indirectly relating to you I'd expect you to be offended but I don't for that exact reason so it's all subjective. You can call me all the c***s under the sun and f*** off and report me, get me banned blah blah blah fine but do not make flippant, insensitive remarks about my family either directly or indirectly.
 
I thought the female version of Richard, or Rich, was Lynn (as in Hamilton) :cool:
 
One of the greats! - A Boy Named Sue. Enjoy! ....

Again....Gaelic (and my ex sister-in-law's name.....though hers is pronounced rather differently and oddly the pronunciation begins with a B!

As I understand it, it's the "obh" bit which makes the "v" pronunciation in Gaelic.
A really odd language to look at, and a lovely lilting one to hear spoken.
Incidentally, her brother's name was "Gary"....Spelled Gearoid. Wrap yer bonce around that! :lol:
