I think it can be used both ways... but it is more commonly known as being a girls name. If you'd like to change it maybe Joey would work. This way it Rhymes and won't confuse him as much.
I got smart remarks on Tiggers name when we flew to Vegas over Christmas. the people at the security check point wouldn't stop saying how it's a cats name. I wanted so much to tell them off, but I held my tounge and my boyfriend made a good point. He said "it wouldn't have done any good, and who cares? It's our dog and if they want to think that, Let them."
If you like the name and think it's fitting, who cares what others think? They aren't raising him, you are and that's all that matters. Plus, you probably won't be seeing these people agian and if you do see them agian it won't be for a long time. |
