They named their baby girl Shane. It is a female child.

Oh wow. So edgy. Much cool. Wow.

The article called it "refreshing and unexpected".

This makes me irrationally annoyed. I know it's not my baby=not my concern. But seriously? She's a girl. People, quit giving your poor daughters boy names. It's ridiculous.

I love the name Shane and am using it for my baby's middle name, boy or girl.  #notsorry

My husband's older brother is named Shane. So when I hear it, I picture a big, tall, burly dude.

But it makes them sound soooo strong.

I feel so mean. Maybe it's the pregnancy hormones, but when I hear some of the names people name their children, I want to scream "Are you EFFING kidding me?!"

Major eye roll. My friends sister was team green and their girl name was Shane. Thankfully they had a boy. And didn't name him Shane?

@jlea05 Same here!! A guy friend posted on FB looking for GIRL name suggestions and I was seriously ragey at all the responses he got- Parker, Bailey, Jameson. come on people- stop it!

It's so frustrating how short sighted people are on things like this. What kind of message does this send our daughter's when the only "strong" names are masculine?  I get that critical thinking is hard, but giving a girl a masculine name just strengthens the patriarchy and sexist beliefs that feminine traits and qualities are lesser. 

Fuck that. My daughter deserves better.
