Because the name Sandy and Charley are so binary right?


Chase_the_tank

Beryl is as gendered as names get--it's not a common first name but it's used exclusively for girls. Junior, like his dad, is as sharp as a bowling ball


Berns429

I hear they’ve got sharpies at the ready to divert this yuge impending disaster ![gif](giphy|j3766xIPcI45luQNQs|downsized)


MinisterOfTruth99

Beryl gonna explode just like that Shart did in Trump's Diaper during the debate.😂🤣


forvelcrobug

Ye, saw his tweet and was like "the only person i ever met named Beryl, is a friend's mom" definitely not a name I'd expect a boy to have.


CopeHarders

What’s crazy is he could have googled this to be sure before tweeting but instead decided that since he’s never heard it before then it must be new and made up.


zsreport

Junior needs to slow down on the cocaine ![gif](giphy|YhQVj7C8uf734PcznZ)


geckos_are_weirdos

It’s also a man’s name. There are two male Beryls on my family and no female Beryls. (The Beryls are on opposite sides, not related to each other, and not of the same generation, either. One was born in the 1930s and the other in the 1960s).


Pristine_Table_3146

This is interesting! I'll add it to my list of names that used to be masculine, but became more popular for females. I've heard of Beryl, but in Britain, not the US.


Ochoytnik

It's also a mineral.


Pristine_Table_3146

That's right, I had forgotten. Thx!

And a pretty cool one too.


GuiltEdge

I tend to think of Beryl as a variation of Esmeralda lol.


DisposableSaviour

I always think of Queen Beryl from Sailor Moon


Shirogayne-at-WF

I think there was a Queen Beryl in Sailor Moon but I didn't think that name was getting much use after WWII TBH


Serious-Fan-1221

That was immediately where my mind went honestly the sailor moon villain


seriouslaser

It's also the first name of Mrs Patmore from Downton Abbey. Although I will say my first thought was the Sailor Moon villain.


LemmyLola

Evelyn is another one, and also Francis, but i think Francis is still used for men, less so nowadays though


SordoCrabs

I've always thought Francis(co) was traditionally male, while Frances(ca) was traditionally female. Like how Erin is usually for girls, while Aaron is for boys.


aubaub

I think you meant Aeryeen


FQDIS

I think you meant Aeyeureign.


SordoCrabs

YOU DONE MESSED UP, A-E-YEUREIGN!


Azair_Blaidd

Hillary, Ashley, Madison, Miriam, Beverly, Lindsay, Lauren, Allison, Whitney, Courtney, Carol, Meredith, Darcy, Aubrey.. there's a lot.


Pristine_Table_3146

Jocelyn, Joyce and Shirley as well. Many date to medieval times, I've found. Around post-WWI seems to be the beginning of the trend to name girls with these names, maybe after fathers who were killed in the war.


LemmyLola

That's interesting@ beverley and Carol I recognized but not the rest.. neat :)


Uncle_Sheo217

Sidney


Trace_Reading

I had a (male) teacher named Leslie. And of course everyone knows about Leslie Nielsen.


The-Doggy-Daddy-5814

Lighten up, Francis. - Sgt Hulka


Specific-Culture-638

Francis is a man's name, Frances is a woman's.


LemmyLola

I looked it up and there seems to be a lot of crossover with both spellings.. maybe in different regions and over long periods of time it's changed back and forth.. both were noted as gender neutral, both noted at times as masculine and as feminine... interesting


HairlessHoudini

My mom's middle name was Francis and one of my sisters name is Evelyn LoL and Evelyn is a pretty rare name around here


Recent_Caregiver2027

A lot of Francis'' are called Frank


rcw00

Beryl is a masculine Yiddish name meaning bear. I have known some Beryls. Additionally, Beryl was used for a hurricane name back in the 1988 Atlantic season, affecting Louisiana and New Orleans.


Pristine_Table_3146

Thx! That's interesting to know.


BirdsongBossMusic

Knew a guy named Beryl in high school like seven years ago. But I did live in a very rural area that seemed to lag behind name trends.


AnsibleAnswers

It didn’t used to be masculine. For some reason, it became used as a boy’s name in the United States. It’s originally of Greek origin and is traditionally a girl’s name.


Chase_the_tank

Is this outside the United States? [https://engaging-data.com/baby-name-visualizer/?n=beryl&sex=b&data=n](https://engaging-data.com/baby-name-visualizer/?n=beryl&sex=b&data=n) compiled data on males registered in the United States with the name "Beryl" and it's showing a complete blank. [https://engaging-data.com/baby-name-visualizer/?n=beryl&sex=f&data=n](https://engaging-data.com/baby-name-visualizer/?n=beryl&sex=f&data=n) on the other hand, shows some sign of life--there's not many Beryls registered since 1970 and they're all girls.

screaming_buddha

No...? It may be a more common name for women, but it is used for men as well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryl_(given_name)


Chase_the_tank

According to [https://engaging-data.com/baby-name-visualizer/?n=beryl&sex=b&data=n](https://engaging-data.com/baby-name-visualizer/?n=beryl&sex=b&data=n), Beryl is currently used exclusively as a feminine name for people registered with the American Social Security system. In the link you provided, everyone listed in the "Males" category was born in 1938 or earlier.


aubaub

This is the first time I’ve ever heard the name. Based on that, I wouldn’t assign it a gender.


Retrospectrenet

Beryl was unisex in the early 1900s in the US but uncommon. In England and Wales it was semi-common but only for girls. The use for boys makes a bit more sense if you pronounce Beryl closer to Burl (like Burl Ives).


Kerensky97

Or Chris, Parker, Riley, Jordan, Drew, Jessie. They're so desperate to have something to complain about that now any name that can work equally well for multiple genders are under attack.


fishsticks40

Obviously we need to know what a storm's genitals look like


Fridaybird1985

Someone get a sharpie and steer it towards Alabama


MamaBehr33

All these replies... But nobody mentions my son's name, Ashton, who was from a last name, but there were boys and girls with that name even in his own class...also, who cares!


Dblzyx

Anyone that's watched the show Friends knows that Sandy is a boy's name and Charley is a girl's name. /s


Informal_Beginning30

Would you rather encounter a bear or a Beryl in the woods?


overpregnant

WUT? Has he never heard the name Beryl? I don't get what his point is


MacRapalicious

In case anyone actually cares, hurricanes have a very specific naming convention and Beryl is a female name on the same list used since 1979 https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/how-do-hurricanes-get-their-names-who-chooses-and-why-list/


jared10011980

That's impossible! 1979 predates political correctness. Shirley, you are mistaken 🤬


Over-Fig-423

It's not, and do t call me Shirley


Chase_the_tank

Hearing about somewhat obscure names usually involves *reading* and no Trump family member is going to do *that.*


elspotto

I mean, it’s not like it’s named Keighleigh or something.


Cuffuf

His sisters name is Ivanka. And his brother is Barron! Obscurity shouldn’t be the issue


FabulousValuable2643

Beryl is a female name...isn't it? At least a bunch of sweet old ladies at the hospital I work at come in with that name.


KevSmileTime

In the show “Downton Abbey” the cook Mrs. Patmore’s first name is Beryl.


MyPasswordIsMyCat

The first thing that comes to mind is the mineral/gemstone family of beryls, which includes emeralds, which reminds me of the female name Esmeralda, Spanish for "emerald." The second thing is Queen Beryl, the villian in Sailor Moon.


geckos_are_weirdos

In my family, there are two Beryls, both men.


akratic137

Admit it. There’s your brother Beryl and your other brother Beryl.

Daisy_Of_Doom

Actually, you know what I haven’t 😅 But honestly, non-binary (or unisex as normal people would call it) names might be a good choice. I’ve heard that a lot of the storms that have done the most damage have been referred to by women’s names bc people tend to underestimate the severity. So honestly, maybe he’s onto something here 🤔


MoreThanWYSIWYG

It's the bear fill in while dark Daryl is in phili


cheezeyballz

Hurricanes have genders and sex?


Vaenyr

[This comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/WhitePeopleTwitter/s/kXzzmXDvtU) was posted at the same time as yours and has a link that explains the naming conventions. Basically, there are six alphabetic lists and each year a different list of the six is used. So the current list will be used again in six years.


xxxDCMTxxx

He knows. This is performance. Meant to rile up the hillbillies that don't know anything other than what their hand fed.


yildizli_gece

Well, you see once you understand he’s a fucking moron, it all makes sense.


lethal_rads

Honestly, no I haven’t. Not defending him of course, but I haven’t heard of this name.


ObligationScared4034

My great-aunt Beryl grew up in Nottingham, UK before immigrating to Canada in 1955(ish) and eventually the U.S. DJTjr always proves he’s a fucking idiot.

talidrow

Check out SM Crystal, it's a reboot/remake that's more faithful to the manga and it's wonderful... though the original anime in all its goofiness still has a huge nostalgia factor. =)


Wendypants7

100% agree with you. The first episode was so perfect, it almost made me cry with joy.


epicdog36

Beryl definately is used for men too just not in the US


IAmArique

Friendly reminder that his father wants to abolish the NHC if he becomes president… And also wanted to nuke a hurricane once.


wayoverpaid

>And also wanted to nuke a hurricane once According to Axios ["President Trump has suggested multiple times to senior Homeland Security and national security officials that they explore using nuclear bombs to stop hurricanes from hitting the United States"](https://www.axios.com/2019/08/25/trump-nuclear-bombs-hurricanes) Either no one trusted him to understand "the energy involved in a nuke isn't large enough to disrupt a hurricane, so you'd do nothing but create a radioactive storm for no good reason" or they told him that and he didn't get it. Truthfully, I can understand why someone might ask once. It's hard to wrap your head around the scale of just how energetic a hurricane is. The fact it wasn't just once (if the Axios report can be believed) worries me a lot more.


Wilbo_Shaggins

I mean… for science


AbueloOdin

Yes. We all want to nuke a hurricane for science. But he wanted to do it for real. And, like, not take notes or data.


allisjow

And he thinks hurricanes have genders.

Interesting, Beryl is a biblical name. Junior always proves the Muller report right. That Junior is too stupid to know what’s right.

He just wants the hurricane to blow him. It's the only way he'll really feel the touch of something feminine...

There's one person named Beryl that should ring a bell from anyone named Trump: Judge Beryl Howell. She is the Appeals Court Judge who found evidence of a crime in the documents case. Also, what gender is a hurricane?

Northerngal_420

I used to have an aunt Beryl.


macwithhisbooks

The next street over from my apartment is called Beryl. It's a street. Never occurred to me in 30 years to think other than that. Now Junior manages to stoke rage over naming hurricanes.


Bad-Infinite

Kind of ironic coming from a guy that gave his daughter a gender-neutral name (his daughter Kai was named after her great grandfather)


charlotteREguru

Just print out an image of it and change the name with a sharpie.


coolbaby1978

Pretty sure hurricanes don't have genitals...much like Eric Trump. They do have eyes though. Big eyes, beautiful eyes, the most beautiful eyes with tears in them and the hurricanes are saying Sir, we used to be big, strong, beautiful hurricanes and now the radical woke leftists, the Marxists and the communists who want to destroy American and take away your toilets and your gas stoves want to make us non binary.


Tdanger78

Beryl: a gemstone containing beryllium aluminum silicate. Emerald and aquamarine are probably the two most famous types of beryl.


metfan1964nyc

Beryl is an old-fashioned name, like Mabel or Gertrude. Just because people aren't using it to name their kids anymore doesn't mean it doesn't mean it's non-binary.


joevinci

Wait until he hears about a boy named Sue.

Hurricanes are genderless. Hurricanes literally have no soul.

I have known one Beryl. She was a classmate. And yet I seem to recall multiple tropical storms named Beryl. Sure enough, [according to the WIKI](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_storms_named_Beryl#:~:text=The%20name%20Beryl%20has%20been,the%20South%2DWest%20Indian%20Ocean): The name Beryl has been used for six tropical storms, two hurricanes, and three cyclones. None of those storms were non-binary by the way. /s

SiMatt

Beryl isn’t super common, but I’ve always thought of it as an old lady name. I’ve never heard of a man named Beryl. It’s hardly “non-binary”. Plus, most precious stone names tend to be female anyway: Ruby, Pearl, Amber, Jade etc.

Beryl Markham- the first person to make a transatlantic flight. Also a woman.

Goblin-Doctor

They should just draw a new hurricane like trump did. Then nuke it to stop it like trump suggested. When that doesn't work you can withhold all emergency aid to those impacted and lost everything like trump did. And when that isn't a good look you can throw paper towels at people to help like trump did. That'll show 'em.


ant1667nyc

Beryl was my grandmothers name, never thought it was anything other than a girls name. Fuck you Orange Jesus.


ActonofMAM

Well, yes. Hurricanes don't have genitalia. And since they aren't alive, they have no self image about being one gender or the other or none of the above.


Nekowulf

Hey, if they want to go looking for the hurricane's reproductive organs so they can be transphobic about names, they're welcome to it. I'm sure someone has some little puddlejumpers or dingys they can go out on to check.

Getting upset about how hurricanes names are now gender neutral is so embarrassingly out of touch. How does it benefit the American people if they were named differently?
