hello! does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions for feminist baby names? they can be feminist icons or famous women in stem or traditionally male-dominated fields or just women who broke through the expectations of patriarchy! in fact the name can be as loosely related to feminism as you’d like, just, with a feminist vibe!
i was scrolling through previous threads on the matter and i’m currently pondering over the idea of ‘isabella truth’ for sojourner truth! my style of names varies from names like cecily, violet and frances, to names like lola, blue, and artemis, so i’m open to all kinds of suggestions! i’d just prefer if the names have possible nicknames, though!
thanks for the help! x
I am including first and last names so you can incorporate either.
