I don't really think there is a good synonym for "tomboy." I do think it would be fun to have two coordinating kits called "Something Other than Pink" and "Something Other than Blue" with a tomboy theme and a girly-boy (if that doesn't tell you something -- we have a nice word for girls who like "boy" things but no nice word for boys who like "girl" things) theme. --says the mom who has a daughter who loves to camp & play video games and a son who loves My Little Pony & helping cook |

One of my favorite synonyms for "tomboy" is spitfire. Of course, that could be because I'm a redhead...
What about something like "blazing your own trail" or "doing it your way"? |

"Tomboy" has always rubbed me the wrong way but I'd never get worked up over it. I prefer descriptions like unlimited, boundless, unrestricted, free. ( I'm one of those cinnamon rolls > gender roles types though. )

My daughter is a total tomboy, but I never use that term. Agree with others that it could be perceived wrong. It's just who she is. We like to say "You Do You", which I think would be the perfect name for this type of kit.
Super thrilled that you are making this, Kristin! |

Just wanted to add I would love to see wordstrips for "adventurous", "athletic", "brave", "smart", etc.

"let them be free" "let them play"
"don't tell me what I like" "don't tell me what I can play with" "clothes have no gender" "toys have no gender" Super excited for a kit in this theme too! I don't like the overly pink fashion for my girls... I like "you Do you" that Kim mentioned above too

I like the word Moxie. Maybe using a word for spunky or adventurous as well instead of labeling someone as an atypical male or female.

There used to be a clothing catalog in the 90's called Moxie Girl. Anyone remember that??

Also the term is French is "garçon manqué" for tomboy and "fille manquée" for the other way around. It means a failed boy or failed girl.

I can't think of any other word or phrase to replace 'tomboy'..... the only thing that comes to mind for a name would be "I Can Too" or "Girls Can Too"..... something along those lines.

I just joined but had to weigh in here. In the UK, and other places I think, the term 'Ladette' is used a lot. I think it perfectly describes a fiery girl who loves boy activities.

I love that idea, LeeAndra. And you are totally right there is no word for boys who prefer traditional girly things.

I have a boy who loves pink, but not necessarily girly things - he isn't into princesses or unicorns, but into boyish stuff that happens to be pink. I would so love to have a kit for him!
