Help[Opinions] Re: Gayle
in reply to a message by A
The ln of a brilliantly talented maverick West Indies cricketer, who is also one of the most gorgeous men in the known universe, of which he is well aware!
No doubt you were thinking of an alternative spelling for Gail as in Abigail. That, I dislike both because the notion of adding a Y to a name makes it more feminine is so very dated and silly and because even in this relatively enlightened millennium, 'gay' can still be pejorative and should be avoided as or in a name for that reason.
ETA: As a nn for Abigail, I far prefer Gail to crabby Abby.
