In today's world, I think it is more difficult to name daughters than sons. I think most boy names make the transition for infant to child to teenager to adult easier and will fit most career choices. It is easy to imagine Jack the attorney, Jack the doctor, Jack the rock star or Jack the jock. Almost any boy's name will meet the test.
Girl names are a little different. Once upon a time parents only had to consider if the name worked for a child and a grown woman. No career choices entered the picture. Now they do. Traditional names like Katharine, Elizabeth work. But I have a harder time with names like Liberty, Glory, or Nevaeh. Dr. Glory? Liberty the attorney? Nevaeh anything except a rock star?
