Written as if it is Blanca talking, the post reads, "My parents picked this name during pride month. Mom was actually looking for a name traditionally used by boys that starts with a D.

"She believes that names are genderless. They came across Dietrich."

There is a famous Dietrich in film history: Marlene Dietrich, a popular German-American film actress and singer in the '30s and '40s.

Published as is, the post continues, "Marlene Dietrich is a known a feminist who excelled in film. But what people don't know is that she broke boundaries not just in film.

"She was one of the significant individuals who helped during the war. She was also the first woman who openly wore trousers, breaking boundaries set for females.

"She was one of the first women to break the taboo of wearing a suit on camera and once, was almost arrested for wearing a it in public.
