Landry for a boy

l_elizabeth

Landry is on our list of names, but I've recently heard it can also be used for a girl. I cannot imagine this as a girl's name, this kind of shocked me! What do you think? We are pretty intent on choosing a masculine name.

Oh, and when I search for it at baby name wizard, it comes up as a girl name.

I've only heard it once, on a character from Friday Night Lights. He's a guy. NMS, but it sounds masculine to me.

I think of Tom Landry, so it sounds masculine to me.

Landry def sound masculine to me.  Working in Urgent Care...I remember there being at least one Landry and the patient was a boy.

Far too close to laundry.

NMS. It doesn't sound masculine at all to me.  I think just about any name that ends in the "ee" sound is going to become a girl's name.

This exactly. It doesn't sound like a name to me.

I think it sounds too masculine to be a girls name

Yup.  There are people with the last name of Landry everywhere down here.  I think of it as a surname, not a first name.  I'm not a big fan of the surnames-as-first-names trend, but if it were used as a first name, I think it sounds more like a boy's name.  There's a poster on the adoption board who is using it as a middle name for her son.

Thanks everyone, realize it might not be everyone's cup of tea. I still think it's masculine, so I guess it will stay on our list (for now)

I like it!

I can't imagine this name for a girl. I"ve never heard it for either but I think it is fine for a boy.  However, the first think I thought when I saw this name is Ali Landry (TV Actress).

One of my friends named her DD Landry. I didn't love it at first but it suits her- I can't imagine her with any other name.

It's our girl name. I've only known of one other Landry, also a girl.
