I wouldn’t worry. Loads of girls have boys names these days. Robin and Sydney were exclusively male when I was a girl. As were Ronnie, Teddy and Peter.
Go for it EB – set a trend! Make all names gender neutral and even more confusing.

When I’m doing computer documentation, I always use gender-neutral names and avoid pronouns.

“Holly came from Miami F.L.A.
Hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A.
Plucked her eyebrows on the way
Shaved her legs and then he was a she
She said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side,
Said, hey honey, take a walk on the wild side.”

Peter? Do you really know of girls being named Peter?
Interesting with all the new “cool” names like Madison, Cameron, Avery, Devon, etc. that are being used for either sex.

Oooh, he’s actually called Monty Montahue! I always thought “Monty” was a nickname based on his last name, Montahue.

I’m afraid that I do. Only one, but that is enough for the rot to set in.

I take some pride in the fact that I pointed out that ants were mostly female in a comment quite some time ago.
