There's a comment there from a guy named "Kelley". No, no, no. An "ey" ending makes it a girl's name. He might as well as spell it "Kellie". I knew a guy named Erin back in the day. Aaron = boy, Erin = girl. Why don't parents think before naming their kids? This problem is only going to get worse given the fad of giving kids gender ambiguous made-up names.

No "ey" here. But I still have to include my middle name when sending emails for clarification. Plus I get lots of mail addressed to "Mrs." so I've got that going for me.

I had a male friend named Kelly, so I always associate it as a male or female name on an equal basis. But now that I think about it, it's probably much more common as a female name.

As bad as you think you have it, imagine how much of his life a boy named Khryztofur (I'm sure there's at least one out there somewhere) will waste explaining the pronunciation and spelling of his name.

Good point. At least my name's not Anfernee.

John. That's a name with some originality to it.

a friend of mine knows a married couple named "Kim & Kelly" I was never sure which one is which. I"m pretty sure Kim is the girl, but I do know a couple guys named "Kim" too.

There's nothing sillier than taking a common name and figuring out a different way to spell it. If you're looking to be clever, than pick a non-common name, for crying out loud.

Pat or Patty....it is confusing. :confused:

There's a gal at one of our offices that looks just like that. Yes, her name's Pat. The first time I saw her I had to do a triple take.

[yermom]

does she date Chris?

[soonerbrat]
