Tomboyish Name: Difference between revisions

{{trope}}

'''Mamma Jacobs''': ''Chuck! I knew it was something unladylike.''|''[[Pushing Daisies]]'', "Girth"}}

** Petrushka and Rico are also boy's names, given to two other girls.

* Oscar François de Jarjayes from ''[[Rose of Versailles]]'' - her father very much wanted a son and decided to name and raise her as a boy.

* ''[[Baccano]]!'' inverts this by giving a major male character the distinctly ''female''-sounding name, Claire. This doesn't make him any less [[Badass]].

* ''[[The Day of Revolution]]'' has a brother and sister named Makoto and Mikoto (Makoto is the girl.)...and a [[Gender Bender]] protagonist named Megumi as well, though in this case she actually pronounced her name "Kei" when she was a boy. (Isn't kanji fun?)

* Yukio in Marvel's [[X-Men|X-Men books]]. That the [[Les Yay|ronin good friend]] of Storm uses a boy's name has led to speculation that it is not her real name. In the limited series ''Wolverine: Soultaker'', her other [[Friends with Benefits|good friend]] Logan wonders if her actual name might not be the similar-sounding, but unambiguously feminine "Yukiko".

** After the death of Dark Phoenix, Cyclops left the [[X-Men]] for a time, and decided to apply for employment on a ship. The first person he sees aboard is a pretty young woman.

'''Woman:''' My name is Lee Forrester -- Aletys to my relatives -- and you heard right. }}

* In the 1980s [[Captain America]] fell in love with and for a time was engaged to Bernie (short for Bernadette) Rosenthal.

* Parodied in ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)]]'' with Tommi Ryder, a 'supermodel-turned-lawyer with a dangerous secret' protests that the 'i' makes her name feminine. Amusingly, her (male) love interest's name is Jody.

** Said Jody also makes fun of said statement.

* [[WWE]] wrestler Mickie James is a former Women's Champion. Granted, this is wrestling, and stranger things have happened than a man holding a women's belt, but she is a woman.

* Former WWE ring announcer Mike McGuirk (real name Michelle).

'''Bobby Heenan''': Looks like he almost got one... }}
