... except the caption doesn't even have his name. And it isn't potholed to anything. If you don't know the guy, you'd have no way of knowing his name.

Motion to pull.

He's not even on the example list...second motion to pull.

Side note: I've always found it funny that he has a girl's name, and then he gave his daughter a boy's name.

On top of that, "Kelsey" seems to be one of those borderline examples, in that I'm honestly not sure whether it started out as a girl's name that got attached to a guy, or a guy's name that grew more associated with girls, and this example is just a case of it "returning to its original gender".

Pull with extreme prejudice.

Bigotry will NEVER be welcome on TV Tropes.

I don't think anyone will mind if I pull it. It's objectively bad.

I think this entire trope should be canned. There are eight examples. Everything in this trope is already covered by Gender-Blender Name, except that goes both ways. I'd open a TRS if it weren't full.

Yes, he is a guy.

This page was created just a few days ago, so I am going to bring it up in the new pages topic.

I think this trope needs a new name. How about "A Boy Named Sue" (named after a Johnny Cash song)?

Not the thread for it.

Since Septimus took it to the new launches thread, I'm hollering for a lock.
