What do you guys think of the name Gentrie?

What sex does it sound like it's for? ;)

If she had a twin, Bourgeoisie would be nice.
And, if you're really fearless, their brother could be named Proletariat.

Or there's always "Haute Monde" if a two-words-for-the-first name style is a choice.

This thread would be my answer is, "No, don't like it."

[lostrocket.livejournal.com]

"why"

Slip it in where you think it makes sense, since I apparently forgot to.

I agree that it looks like a misspelled version of the vocabulary word gentry (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=gentry).

If you like the meaning, perhaps there is something here (http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=king+queen+ruler+reign+prince&nmd=m&suppress=yes&title=Royal+Names&heading=none) that you'd enjoy?

If you like names with similar sounds, perhaps you'd like Genevieve, Ginevra, Geneva, Gentian, or Gemma. Or, for the ending, Audrey, Signy or Dagny... hm, I'm not doing very well with this part, sorry!

I think it sounds like a boy's name to me.. maybe because of the country band I dunno.

I like the name Montgomery! But then again, I have an addiction to southern cities. :D

[soulsurvivarida.livejournal.com]

Female.

(without looking at comments)

Boy.

For the record, I don't like it and am not considering it for a child. LOL. I just knew a girl in high school names Gentrie, and I heard her name the other day b/c she's getting married. She may have been Irish, but I think her mom just liked the way it sounded.

Also, I totally don't understand the references to Aristocracy, Bourgeois and Proletariat. *feels dumb*

I always liked the sound of "Gentry," probably for a boy, but I doubt I'd use it.

When I was in highschool, there was a boy named Gentry.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I think it sounds like the name of a truck or a car or something. I don't like it at all.

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

LOL!

[hermionesparkle.livejournal.com]

The spelling looks like it's for a girl but saying it in my head, it sounds like a boy name.

[cathkitten.livejournal.com]

Boy or girl. I'd prefer people to only use it if it was their last name, though.

[vryposh.livejournal.com]

my sister in law named her boy Gentry (with a Y) at first I didn't like it but now it has grown on me :)

[kati-d.livejournal.com]

Montgomery Gentry...

um.. it sounds like a guy to me..

[ophiomancer.livejournal.com]

Sounds like a boy's name.

Also reminds me of sidhe. They're called "the gentry" sometimes. Heh.

[ciara-belle.livejournal.com]

Sounds like something I should be studying for my English Society exam. I definitely do not like that as a name. It's not a word that translates well to a child's name.

And yes, then you could name the siblings Nobilitie, Aristocracie, Peasantrie, Yeomanrie...

[anapology.livejournal.com]

gentrie.. like rich upper class? sounds awful to me..
male, i'd stab a guess.
