      Her name's Jesse, not Alex, I'm pretty sure

      Yes, right. Gender neutral game protagonist names get me mixed up. Even though Jesse is always female.

      The evolution of "Jesse" into an androgynous name is kind of interesting, it wasn't so long ago that this was unambiguously incorrect and people would say "You mean Jessie, which is short for Jessica"

      To be honest the idea that names have to be gendered is kind of weird. I blame the Romans.

      Replying to @bazzalisk @BootlegGirl

      It's interesting how it shakes out historically, like one of the most popular Slavic names is "Dmitri", derived from "Demetrius", which is the Romans making a masculine name out of the name of the extremely female Greek goddess Demeter

      Yup. See also “Gaius” from “Gaia”.

      On the flip side you have weirdness like "Meredith" becoming a woman's name for some reason, even though etymologically it's extremely masculine ("Sea-Lord") and it doesn't look like a girly name on the face of it Probably just due to similarity to "Mary"

      Obviously the reality is that linguistic gender is just bullshit, like all you need is one hot girl who gets famous with the given name "Spencer" and suddenly "Spencer" is a feminine name now

      Um … that’s not linguistic gender. Linguistic gender is a feature of some languages where nouns (and occasionally verbs) come in categories that decline in different ways. It has nothing to do with maleness and femaleness and only historical accident has associated them.

      Meh, I'm speaking sloppily but I think the principle applies The idea of grammatical gender is vestigial in English but it's where we get our sense that names that end in "-a" or "-en" or "-ie" are feminine and names that end in "-o" or "-er" or "-an" are masculine

          I mean that's why we play these weird etymologically dubious games with trying to generate new names by altering the spelling of old ones "Ashley" hung in there a long time as a boys' name with "Ashlee" and "Ashleigh" and so forth being the girls' variants

          People insisting on "Tony" vs "Toni" and "Danny" vs "Dani" and so on
