Help[Opinions] Ehh, I SUPPOSE it could work, hypothetically. (m)
in reply to a message by Caroline Mae
I mean, June's a month name, which is technically a word name, which I suppose could be considered unisex. But on the other hand, the word is derived from Juno, who was a goddess, after all.
Also, while June on a male could work in theory, I think it's generally seen as too feminine of a name, so I don't know if a guy could carry it, really. I think it could work in the MN spot, but as a FN? It might just be best to categorize it as a guilty pleasure of sorts.
(Although, I must say that I understand where you're coming from; while I love June as a girls' name and think it's perfectly feminine, there is something about it that's delightfully "butch," for lack of a better word. It has a slight masculine air about it, but then again, that's part of why I like it as a girls' name. I can picture a literary male named June in my head, but just a literary character, not a real person. I'm also seeing him as rather effeminate-- nothing wrong with that, but it certainly drives home the fact that it's a girls' name in my book!)
They say the devil's water, it ain't so sweet;
You don't have to drink right now.
But you can dip your feet
