Logan - unisex?

anangelbug

I told a friend I liked Logan for a boy and she said it's a unisex name, her daughter knows a girl logan.  Is this true?  What do you think about it for a girl?  I immediately assume and think boy.

I LOVE it for a girl!

I automatically think boy - I think it is very masculine. 

FemmeNat01

Sooooo masculine.

It is not unisex. This does not mean that people who can't come up with a girls name they like so they delve into boys names won't use it for a girl. I hate it for a girl, but I really dislike most boys names for girls.

I thinks it's a masculine name too. However, I could see it working for a girl. I'm not a fan of the name in genreal though.

Ugh.

I had no idea it was starting to be used for girls until after we named DS1 that over 2 years ago. I hate it for a girl. It is all boy to me (obviously), and I will always assume boy when I hear it. There is nothing feminine about it.

Yep, unisex. I like it better for a boy though. There's a volleyball player named Logan Tom. And I know of 2 little girls w/ the name.

 ETA: Unisex is the wrong word for it actually. It's a boy's name that some girls have. Lol. I would consider unisex more along the lines of Jamie or Blair, etc...

Logan as a girls name?! I wouldn't but hey there are lots of names I wouldn't say are unisex that others say are. I definately love Logan for a boy though

I hate it on a girl, love it on a boy, but parents are putting it on girls.

I've seen it used for both....but I think boy when I hear it.

Not at all! It's all boy!

Toots_pop

I think BOY.  Love the name though!

There was a post like this a few days ago, but the only Logans that I know are adult women. I didn't know people used it for boys until I started posting here. It's NMS either way.

I always thought of it as a boys name because of Logan Bruno in the Babysitters Club books, until a friend named her DD Logan (she is 5 now). Since then, I've met/heard of a few other female Logans.

Yea this. I've heard it a few times for a girl and thought it was sooo off.

Ugh... leave the boys' names alone.

I obviously think it's 100% boy.

JLW10

I automatically think boy.

starsmaycollide

I've heard it a time or two, but I don't think it is a unisex name.

fineskyline

I've always thought of it/known it as a boy's name only, but lately have heard it being thrown around for a girl. I think it's acceptable either way.

StarAnnice:

I grew up with a girl named Logan.  So, I immediately thing girl.

On the other hand, Wolverine's name is Logan.  So, that works too. 

This. 

scheti01

I really like it as a girl middle name... my good friend is Caitlin Logan _____.  I think it sounds amazing!

I do NOT think it is unisex, no matter how many girls have the name.

It is a boys name that has unfortunately been hijacked as a girl name lately.  I don't think it is remotely feminine.

AMarieB10

I automatically think "boy"... NMS for a girl, at all!

mchupie

I think it should stay a boy's name.

Sooner or later, every boy's name is going to be unisex... ::sigh::

moonfaerie

I automatically think boy too, but it is growing in unisex popularity.

ETA: I do think it is a more feminine boy name. When I first heard the name years ago, I remember thinking "that doesn't sound very manly." I still think boy though.

Allie30

It's a boy name. I know a girl named Michael. That doesn't make Michael a "unisex" name. It makes it that some parents are giving their daughters' boy names. I saw a birth announcement recently for a female "Hunter." Still a boy name.

greener_beaner

I would say boys name all the way!

MaryYVR

I automatically think boy as well.  Didn't know it was being used for girls now.

macchiatto

Total boy name IMO.
