The Meaning of a Name

I went online today to look at the meanings of the names we have for Baby B. I thought maybe it would help me decide on one.

Here they are:

Arianna
The name Arianna is a baby girl name. The name Arianna comes from the Italian origin. In Italian The meaning of the name Arianna is: Form of the Greek Ariadne, meaning very holy.

Lillian
The name Lillian is a baby girl name. The name Lillian comes from the English origin. In English the meaning of the name Lillian is: Variant of Lillian derived from the flower name Lily. Symbol of innocence; purity; beauty.

Kendall
The name Kendall is a baby boy name. The name Kendall comes from the English origin. In English The meaning of the name Kendall is: Variant of Kendal: Royal valley. Derived from a place name and surname 'Cumbrian', which means 'Valley of the River Kent'.

The fact that Kendall is a "boy" name does not bother me. But this guy obviously has a problem with it! If we do decide to name Baby B Kendall I hope she never runs into him!

"I am a male and my name is Kendall, I have known 5 males named kendall and one female. I detest my name and further more detest the degenderization of it more so.
By the way a mother whose idiocy was to name her daughter Conner did so becuase she felt it was gender neutral.

Problem is society is there are no barriers any longer, nothing is sacred unto men any longer not names, not clubs, not universities nothing but its fascinating how women keep names, keep all womens athletic clubs, keep womens colleges etc.

No Kendall is not a female name and it doesn't sound female, a vowell at the end of the name would feminize it, but altogether this name bloody sucks."
