Dorian

Has Dorian become too feminine? I think of Dorian Gray,

BlindysWife

I don't think of it as feminine at all. I know a little boy with the name, and I like it.

Zaphina

I don't think Dorian is a feminine name at all. I, too, think of Dorian Gray.

strawberrytree

It's not feminine at all- just like Adrian, Julian, Lucian, Fabian, etc are not feminine names either. 

I think Dorian Gray too.  

MrsTBird

I don't think it's feminine, either.

I don't think it's feminine at all.

SpokenVows

I'm the odd one out, again. I think it sounds feminine, but I always have.

Not feminine. But I think of Dr. Dorian from Scrubs! (Zach Braff)

No i like the name dorian!

LeggyNic

I think it could go both ways.  I think both Dorian Gray and Dorian Lord from All My Children (female character). 

We have a male friend named Doran so I think of that as more masculine.

ObLaDi

I think of Dorian Gray (I also recently met a little boy named Dorien). Definitely masculine. I like it.

Except for the book, I've never heard it used on a boy or a girl. I think you're safe using it on a boy. It's not popular enough (on either sex) to be a "switch-over," and the only association people (should) have with it is Dorian Gray.

MakeMyHeartPink

I think of John Dorian (JD) from Scrubs. LOL...

folkfemme

My first thought is also Dorian Gray. My second is a girl named Dorian that I went to high school with.

I don't think it is feminine at all. Definitely think of Dorian Grey...and in my book, that isn't positive (he's not really a character I'd want to be named after). 

Todd&Laura

I don't think it is feminine at all. I think it sounds like a mobster.

I also think of Dorian Gray and think it's a very masculine name. I would NEVER use it for a girl.
