I prefer the shortened version, "Domme".

Now why doesn't that surprise me......

Perhaps in these days of economic strife, parents could be sponsored by large companies to name their offspring after brands or products - like they used to do with horses in horse racing. So you could have baby 'Persil Washerswhiter Smith' or Domestos Jones etc...

Domestos - definitely a girls name.

The names of flowers are quite popular for girls, I notice.

Although, I do feel that "Triffid", or "Triff" for short is definitely a boy's name.

Ashtray is most definitely a boys name

The name of almost any disease or medical condition picked at random from a medical book makes a great girl's name.

Well said. I won't have any more kids, but I look forward to being a proud Grandfather to young Clamidia.

If I'd had a daughter she would have been Spudulika. Which sounds rather Greek don't you think?

Oesophagitis? Hmm, sounds a bit Greek.

Good Question Mr Timberwolf.

However, I fear your "cunning plan" to inveigle in to the secret boy's club will not work, because female names are excluded. You need to do it the other way round, so they don't get suspicious.

ps..Halo...it was "Conny"

Just come back from Amsterdam met two mates both male: one from Sweden called Connie one from Holland called Floris.

They consider thier names normal - i had to try hard not to laugh

Hmmm, a boy named Sue....?

Has a familiar ring(of Fire) to it...

Could lead to the (Falsom prison)blues though...

What if I make up some names : Geany, Acramanto, Bando, Jampi, flandango. Are these boys or girls names?

They aren't made up, they are all in regular use in the US
