Arguing with some hogs about it and not sure where I stand. Feel like it's a noble goal that should happen some day, but personally, if I had a kid I wouldn't do it because I'd fear they'd get bullied for it. Thoughts?

Maybe you didn't see my edit, but again, these aren't gender. They are gender norms. One can easily break norms while still being cis, and you don't have to treat your child gender neutrally to allow them to do those things.
As for naming your child, it's inherently making an important decision for them no matter what. I don't see any more harm in giving someone assumed to be male a male name and leaving them free to decide if they want to change it than giving them a gender neutral name. Are we going to expect every single child to pick a new name later in life? Also most gender neutral names are just kinda meh IMO.
