	LanguageLover  +  284981 Tue, 24 Oct 06 10:00 AM Both sound correct to me. And I found evidence for both via google search. Wynn: This name is variously translated as Welsh for “fair” or “white,” or Old English, meaning “friend.” It's often considered a girls' name, but it's another one with good crossover potential thanks to developer/entrepreneur Steve Wynn. The names are separated into girl's names and boy's names. I know that google search cannot prove anything, we still need some native speakers here to have a vote.

Number one is correct.  For number two to be correct, you would need the provided addition.  The first is still better, even with the correction.

	Grammar Geek  +  285107 Tue, 24 Oct 06 05:10 PM Philip, I think I wouldl amend further: This is a girl's name. This is a boy's name. This could be a girl's or a boy's name. But the plural "these... names" don't well in my brain with "a girl's" or "a boy's." Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Veteran Member 19,660 Barbara, who answers in American English.
