ABCDE@lemmy.world 8 months agonames from Asia are even harder to guess
Good luck in Cambodia where Samnang and many other names can be used for both male and female names.

You get gender-neutral names in English-speaking countries too, eg Alex, Jordan, and Dylan. It’s just not possible to reliably guess everyone’s gender from their name alone.

In Norway there’s like 60 names that have a reasonably even usage between genders.

I’ve never heard Dylan for women but yes, you’re spot on. Here it’s not such a thing to have gendered names, they just work.

I can think of at least two (female) porn stars with Dylan as their assumed first name.

I know a woman called Dylan.
