Christian - once a girls' name? - Girl Names

Posted by Valentine Belue on Saturday, July 20, 2024

In the Middle Ages, Christian was a female name, but turned male with the introduction of the hero of John Bunyan’s “The Pilgrim’s Progress.”

I find this part of the description interesting… I can kind of see the femininity of it; the -ian, the pastel-colored soft images it evokes… That’s just me but it got me wondering:

Would any of you ever use [name]Christian[/name] as a girls’ name again? Why/why not?
