so weird
My sister is pregnant with the first family baby (YAY) and I am so excited to be an aunt! They just found out two days ago that its going to be a girl (YAY again) and she just emailed me the name. I love the first name, but her middle name is James...how weird is that? Why would you give your daughter a boy middle name, and a boy middle name that is so clearly a boy name (not like Jesse or Lee or something that could go either way)? I obviously can't tell her I think its weird (she is very sensitive right now and naming this baby has caused her much stress) so I thought I would share my thoughts on the matter here, even though you ladies probably don't care haha. Does any one else think its weird to give your daughter a boy middle name?
Re: so weird
I would be slightly more concerned if it was a first name, but as a middle name...meh. She'll be able to decide who knows it and who doesn't, if she doesn't like it.

I personally think it's weird, but to each his or her own, right?
Some people get eccentric with names. I know some people who have no biological/racial/religious ties to Israel whatsoever, but have friends/clients there. They gave their kids what they refer to as "Hebrew names:"
Sanai (pronounced seh-NIGH)
Eden (pronounced ed-DEN)
Tamar (pronounced tah-MAR)
(These are all female names.)
Goes great with their polish last names.
Personally, I think it's fine, but I'm biased because DH has a "traditionally" girl name. I love his name and I can't imagine a girl having his name now.
She better be prepared for some reactions to that name, though. If she's sensitive about it already, she should stop telling people.
I think it's kind of weird and the kid might be a bit upset about it. But then I've never met a girl with a traditionally guy name or middle name. I might feel differently if it was a common thing around here.
I think the weirdest name I've ever encountered is Abcd. Pronounced (Ab si dee)
