I think girl, but I don't like it as a girl's name. I don't think it sounds very pretty. I agree that it is one of the few "truly unisex" names. I also think of it as a strong 90's name, because of all the parents who named their kids after Michael Jordan (of which I have know like, five)
I heard this discussion yesterday in a children's clothing store. :P
The woman at the cash said it was a boys name and she hated it on girls. I'm still torn on it.
Apparently I'm one of the few who thinks girl. Possibly because it used to be my favorite girls name and I was going to name my daughter that, but then my sister used it first (I wasn't even married when she had her daughter, so while I was a bit upset, it's not like there was any sort of hope at that point that I would have a daughter....). I still love the name for a girl, and I know a couple of boy Jordan's who are 18+. So for me, it's all girl even though I know it's unisex and used to be all boy.

I think of boy. Its pretty unisex now. I don't like names liek this on girls- just NMS.
I think of Jordan Knight (NKOTB)
If you (or anyone) uses this on a girl please spell it Jordan, just the normal way. Don't try to girly it up with a 'y' anywhere in it.
Boy, but I have heard of it being used for girls too. Hope this helps.
Good luck with the new little one, my your family be blessed.
