Yes I love [name_u]Paris[/name_u] as a boys name- so soft and refined

I prefer most popular place names on boy. It just feels so much fresher, because theyāre usually so popular on girls. To be honest, I donāt even think of places as having genders (even though countries are often referred to as āsheā).
I also prefer [name_u]Brooklyn[/name_u], [name_u]Paris[/name_u], and [name_u]America[/name_u] on boys.
But I only like [name_u]Montana[/name_u], [name_u]California[/name_u], and [name_u]Nevada[/name_u] on girls.

Hot take: while [name_u]Utah[/name_u], Wisconsin, or Connnecticut would be a questionable choice, I actually really love the idea of a Minnesota ā[name_f]Minnie[/name_f]ā 
definitely a gp, but we can dream, right?

Actually, my science teacher says [name_u]Peri[/name_u]-DOT.
As does everybody else I know.
It is not an incorrect pronounciation.
They are BOTH correct.

Are people using the > symbol as an arrow or a greater than symbol?
I use it as a greater than symbol, some people probably use it as arrow

I actually kinda agree with this. Though I think what people mean by āmaking a statementā is literally only naming a baby something to get attention/gain something from it, not because the name actually has meaning to them. Like to go off your example, to me using a more uncommon biblical name because you are religious isnāt making a statement, thatās just giving something you love to your child. When I hear āmaking a statementā in reference to names I usually think of a parent giving their child a super extravagant name with a name of a philosopher or something, not because thatās something theyāre passionate about or just a name they love, but because they want people to think they [the parents] are smart

My mind is completely blown by the revelation that so many people pronounce the T. Never in my life have I ever heard or considered the T pronounced!
