Do you think spelling a name differently can make it more feminine or masculine?

not really, unless they're both legit names. the francis/frances mentioned in the other comment is a good example but i can't think of any on my own.

that post from what was it, yesterday? was so ridiculous. ashtyn and ryleigh, omg. idk why people think y's are so feminine. and i've always seen riley as a unisex name anyway.

it also seems like a lot of people think spelling the really popular rhyming names with y makes them girls names, too. like bradyn, jadyn, ect. or even addisyn and maddisyn, which tbh i've always seen as girls names in the first place. i hate misspelled names so much.

lmao that sounds like it would be the most ridiculous, ignorant statement except for the fact that it's usually true.

triple.

good idea, but have you considered removing the d? the j alone will make the same sound and the point is to make the world as unrecognizable as possible, right?

or word*, rather.

Actually, in the book "Freakonomics", the author discusses that certain names imply that the mother had more education.
