    Actually no idea. But in California where most of this happens there is far greater freedom of name choices. Apple, "Morning Star", X12, etc.

    I'm surprised the woke brigade aren't having a field day with the gender reveals. Must make their heads explode.

    Gender-reveal parties are celebrations announcing whether expecting parents are going to have a girl or a boy.
