It's just because in Scandinavia it's usually a man's name and six years of studying Swedish have corrupted my mind..
And I definitely agree with you about the trilogy. I also thought that Lirael was somehow boring in the beginning.. Or well, boring is quite harshly said, but I mean it was really difficult for me to step into her shoes.

I understand wholly. No worries. IRL I have a man's name so its not so insulting to be mistaken for one, especially online where you can't see my face and only have a man's name to go off of and an avatar of a medicine man wearing a bear skin. :P
As for me, Lirael was NOT at all the way I was as a teenage girl - I was more like Sabriel at least in her ability to really stand up. Lirael's constant pity party was annoying even at its lightest. Sam too was kinda a pain in the ass. I was a hardcore Sabriel and Touchstone fan, but I LOVED the Disreputable Dog. LOVED her.
