Another commented: "Because it is a boy’s name.
"It is a nice name for boys. What you did was similar to a family naming their son Kaitlyn, a girl’s name. Names can be legally changed."
A third penned: "Kevin is a predominantly male name; You should have known that when you named her; This one is on you.
"People bully her because while Kevin is a common name it is not at all common for a girl to have that name and some kids are mean.
Meanwhile, a fourth wrote: "Naming a girl “Kevin" is just as dumb as a boy named “Sue"."
Other people provided more practical advice, one suggested: "I know a woman named Keven (pronounced KEE-venn) who loves her name. Maybe if you changed the pronunciation or called her Kee as a nickname?"
