Tyler for a boy?

I've always loved the name "Tyler" for a boy and my husband and I are considering it for our little one due in a few months. We've heard from others that it's popular for a girl's name now. Any thoughts?

Re: Tyler for a boy?

  • I meet a lot of boy Tylers and a few girl Taylers. I've yet to meet a girl Tyler.

  • Who the heck would name a girl Tyler?

    Ditto TAYLOR for a girl or boy but not Tyler. I love it and it was on our short list for awhile.

    Tyler is absolutely a boy name. Taylor could be both, but Tyler is a boy.

  • Definetly a boys name, I would have to double take the kiddo, if someone said hey this is my daughter Tyler, I would question it and ask them Taylor?

    I just do not see a girl with this name.

  • Love the name Tyler. My brother is John Tyler. We seriously considered Tyler as a middle name for our daughter, but didn't go with it.
  • Tyler is a boy name.  Go for it.

  • Never met a Tyler that was a girl - and I'm a teacher.  I would say Tyler is always a boy's name and it's a good name at that!!

  • According to the SSA, there were 11,392 boys and 233 girls named Tyler born in 2009, so it's safe to say that it is still a solid boys' name.
  • Love it for a boy. Despise it for a girl. It's so masculine....
