Hey, that douchebag Mike Tyson named his daughter Exodus.

exodus:

2. the Exodus, the departure of the Israelites from Egypt under Moses.
3. (initial capital letter) the second book of the Bible, containing an account of the Exodus. Abbreviation: Ex.


WTF?!

I named my son Dana, 46 years ago. I liked the actor, Dana Andrews, way back then. He's never been teased about it. I've met both male & female Dana's since.

My husband and I both have unisex names; Kerry and Tracy. He gets called by my name and I by his. We usually just smile and go on.

BIG MISTAKE!! He'll be explaining his name for the rest of his life. Do him a favor and go change it to known boys name. Someone's name in nothing to fool around with and can influence their life in a negative way in the long run.

When we were picking out our first borns name...a boy... we decided to name him Bailey. I have heard the name more as a girls name, however, I have also heard it from several other boys. The original meaning of the word is "bailiff".

Azure a shade of blue. It's commonly used as underside camouflage on British aircraft. Go figure naming a child that.

Just as mentioned in the story, my son's name is Dakota. He was named for my grandfather, who was Native American and a member of the Dakota tribe (aka Lakota, aka Sioux). I thought I was being not only very original, but it sounded like a very masculine name to me. Right after he was born, I called the nursery because he was in the hospital for a few days, and told them I was Dakota's mother - their answer? "Which one?" They went on to explain that they'd had SIX kids named Dakota in the last 2 weeks, and four of the six were female. I was horrified. But thankfully, he's only run into two other Dakota's in school, and both of them were also boys. Being original with a name can be tough, but I think it's worth it.

Enough with the made-up names already. How about Edward, David, or Michael as a boy's name? Life is hard enough as it is without being saddled with an odd name. Employment prospects are brighter with a standard name.

When we name children, we should consider their welfare in school and beyond. If you suspect that a name is too girly, trust your instincts. Azure is girly, even if it does mean blue. By the way, blue used to be the color for girls because of its association with the Virgin Mary.

My name is Azuree, and my mother named me after her favorite color as well. But the name Azure (nor the color) is not pronounced the same as my name is (my name has a soft 'z' sound and there is no accent over the two e's...Mom 'Americanized' it).
Now that I've introduced myself, I'll address the issue at hand. I think the name Azure can be used for both genders; as the article said, there are lots of names that started out masculine and became popular as a feminine name (and vice-versa). What I will admit is that it sounds more masculine than feminine, and looks more feminine than masculine in writing. So perhaps that's more the issue than the name itself. If someone wants to name their child Azure, I say go right ahead. But from a personal standpoint, the child may get a lot of flack from the so-called 'normal-named' kids for having a 'stupid' name (I did).

My name is Taylor and I'm a girly-girl, but my name suits me just fine. I've seen all types of girls named Taylor-- artsy, sporty, quirky, cool-- and Taylor suits them too. While it can be a boy's name, there's nothing wrong with it being a girl's name as well. I think old-fashioned names are just fine, but I also think more modern names are cool too. It just depends on the person.

I named my son "Sue". He beat the hell out of me in the bar a while ago.

Your son is going to have the crap kicked out of him at school.
