My score is 2, putting it on the 'girly' side - what's yours? Do you think this has an effect on our expectation of someone's personality? It might be interesting to look at the female names in songs and see how high their score is. And look at the first names of managing directors of companies. But do beware of the fallible nature of the scoring system. Does it take into account names that are not traditionally British? How old are the songs/people? Are more 'feminine' names more accepted now in all contexts? Any other aspects of this you can think of (please comment)?
