That description seems like Unpronounceable Name to me.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanNo, Sioux is pronounced the same as Sue in most American English dialects. The example would be a subversion of the trope, because the audience is expected to think of it as a girl's name (and reference the Johnny Cash song), because of the lampshade, but the name itself isn't a Gender Bender Name.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Subversion of specifically the Gender-Blender Name trope, you mean? Yeah, I think I see. It also ties into another question I asked yesterday, the difference between "subvert" and "invert." I'm having trouble comprehending it, but the light is coming on. Inverting a trope means playing it backwards, while subverting it means setting up for it but not delivering it. I don't know how to "invert" a unisex name, but here the family was expecting a boy named Sue and didn't get one, so that's subversion. Thanks for the help.

Well, the medium is a blend of music and TV.
While surfing troperdom I saw Johnny Cash's "A Boy Named Sue" discussed in Gender Blender Names. Some mention is made of others following the song's exaample and naming their sons (or male dogs) Sue.
I'd like to point out somewhere that this was lampshaded and possibly played with in other ways, I'm not sure which, in an episode of The Partridge Family. They had a visitor: a young man who introduced himself by a name that sounded like Sue.
Reuben Kincaid hung the lampshade: "A boy named Sue?"
Their visitor was quick to clarify that in fact, his name was Sioux, as in the Native American tribe, of which he is one quarter.
In what ways does this address the Gender-Blender Name trope? Or any others?
