[Missed Miss]

How masculine or feminine is your first or middle name? Has anyone been given a feminine first or middle name because their parents were hoping or expecting a girl?

While my given first name is typically assigned to males, there is a female co-worker who's middle name is the same as my first name.

What's your story?

My dad used to tell me he named me after Dale Evans, Roy Rogers' wife. Recently, mom told me there was some other cowboy movie star named Dale that I was named after. I forget his name. Dad used to also tell me that if I was a girl they would've named me, Dalita. How coincidental is it that he kept making female references about me when I was little, when I actually wished I WAS female nearly all my life??
