But, but ...
How do you know when they are born that they are going to end up looking androgynous?
How can you tell what names are going to be 'ok' later in life? (Pity all the poor Osama's there are out there now, for example.)
One of my sons is legally Kenneth Charles. (We were into using family names for our children.) But the prospect of forcing him into being 'little Ken' or 'little Charley' was too much, so we call him K.C. Did we know that he would end up in a classroom with two Casey's who happen to be girls? Did we even consider the possibility? The only other K.C. we knew at the time was a man. :blink:
