I'm in the process of adopting and am thinking of progressive, gender-neutral names for my boy. My husbear thinks all of my shortlisted names are effete, but I am strongly in favor of progressive names especially in these dark times. My current shortlist is: Dakotah, Mackenzie, Madison, Peyton, and Makayla. I think these names are just fabulous for a little body: masculine without being homophobic, toxic flyover names like Norm, Brett, Hunter etc. My two other adopted sons, Colton and Packer, look forward to meeting their new brother, but I'm still really hung up on the naming matter. It's keeping me up at night!
What's a good, non-gross, non-flyover name for a boy-child?

The new cool thing is to cut off only a part of the name for the nickname, not necessarily the end (like Topher)
So you have wonderful choices, Akot, Enzi (or Cken!), Diso, Eyt, or Ayl. All distinctive and on-trend.
I'm sure your boy's new friends will find it intriguing and not even think about teasing him.
Good luck!

I agree with your husband and there's nothing [bold]masculine[bold] about those names. When I hear/read them I think female.
"masuciline without being homophobic" the fuck?!

Honestly, if you don't know how to do this right, then trying too hard will only be more wrong.
Avoid something stupid and just pick a decent classic name. If you're fraught over it, it will show. You'll end up with Wolf Blitzer or Archie Harrison.
