Parker for a girl?

KellBelle1230 · April 2013

My husband and I are having a hard time deciding on a name for our daughter. Our first daughter is Kennedy. Some names we haven't ruled out are Rory and Ainsley. He is really set on Parker. If Kennedy was a boy we were going to name her Parker. So I really like the name. I'm just not sure how I feel about it for a girl name. The middle name is going to be Elizabeth family name. How do you feel about Parker for a girl?

I have to say, I don't really care for Parker on a girl...It's too masculine!

Definitely no

There was a show on TNT with Timothy Hutton for a few years recently with a female character named Parker. I loved the character & the name. I say go for it!

I would hate Parker for a girl. I do like Ainsley a lot. And I actually kind of like Rory too.

I like Parker for a girl.

Parker is a last name, first and foremost. Those who insist on making it on a first name should only be parents of a boy. It is not nor should it ever be a girl's name.

I think Parker is cute and I think it is absolutely fine for a girl.

I have an old friend who has a girl named Kennedy Parker LN. When she announced the name people kept asking what gender it was.

I don't think Parker works for a girl.

Parker is so masculine sounding. I don't understand the appeal to name a girl such a masculine name. Maybe Avery or Riley or Morgan. All I prefer on boys, but I feel they are more girl friendly than Parker. I really like Avery and Kennedy together.

NO!

It's NMS, but I have a coworker whose youngest DD is named Parker.

I know a female Parker. I'm not a fan of it on a girl.

This, sorry

franklyscarlette · April 2013

Parker is way too masculine for a girl. I really hate this boy names for girls trend. To each their own but definitely NMS

magsugar13 · April 2013

i do not like it at all but i think it goes with your daughters name perfectly.

inthelost · April 2013

Parker only fits as a boys name, imo. it's too masucline

Zimger · April 2013

Parker is all boy IMO

MissHoppy · April 2013

I like it! I taught a female Parker, whose sisters were Morgan and Taylor. All very cute.

capulet · April 2013

The only reason I can even conceive of it as a girl name is Parker Posey. But I generally don't use celebrities as a basis for such decisions. It still seems very much like a boy name to me.

amberrrjade · April 2013

I will say this on every thread. I adore boy names for girls. Parker is perfect. I think there is an actress whose name is Parker as well.

stargazer08 · April 2013

I'm not a big fan of the name, but honestly I like it better for a girl than for a boy. Like a PP said, it was a female character's name in the show Leverage with Timothy Hutton. It was also a female character's name in the show Veronica Mars.

alohamora · April 2013

I don't like Parker for a boy or a girl.

CitrusSwallowtail · April 2013

Love it!

manda326 · April 2013

I personally don't care for it but there are a lot of female names today that were originally male names so I don't see why Parker couldn't be one too.

kmpls · April 2013

Love it! I also love Parker Posey!

This was my DHs top girls name, I told him no. Not only bc it's still in the Top 100 for boys, but also because our last name rhymes with Posey. Ain't nobody got time for that.

We have switched to Riley which I absolutely love, but some on the Na

TarHeels&Rebels · April 2013

I know an adult female Parker. It works on her. But professionally, it's a *** because when all you see is her name on an email or letterhead, people assume she's a guy.

skio · April 2013

This is why I hate this name.

It's unisex. If you love it, go for it. It is used on girls, too, and I DON'T think Parker is a masculine name at all. It's way too frilly and weak for a boy's name, IMO. It's NMS at all for either sex, but I'd

BeachBabe22 · April 2013

I think it's so cute!

apc1929 · April 2013

Sorry I don't care Parker at all- boy or girl. I think both Ainsley and Rory are great names and go nicely with Elizabeth!

BlueRidge8 · April 2013

Porker

TheParkers1026 · April 2013

Have you considered the name Harper for a girl? It has the same sound as Parker but I think it sounds so much better with Kennedy. Harper Elizabeth is cute.

TREDgirl · April 2013

I love it!

mtm0109 · April 2013
