Boy names for a girl?

CapeCodBride28 · June 2009

What are some interchangeable names? The only one I can come up with is Charlie. We would name her Charlotte.

Dani (for Danielle), but the spelling gives away that it's a girl name.

Taylor, Jordan?

Although this is a tricky topic as many names have become increasingly "unisex," when they weren't traditionally so.

I know someone who named their daughter Francesca and call her Frankie. Or Alex for Alexandra

I love boy names for girls. I love the name Jake for a girl (could be Jacqueline).

wranglercowgrl87 · June 2009

Jordan, Tyler, Riley, Alex, Taylor, Dani...there's more, I just can't think of them at the moment.

I know a girl named Ryan and a boy named Kelly. We named our daughter Mackenzie but I also know a guy with that name.

I love the name Logan for a girl.

My son is Mason but we ran into a girl Mason at the playground one day. I am also considering Ryan for a girls middle name which I never thought I would but I like it now.

I went to high school with a girl Ryan. My fiance and I want to use Aiden for our first, regardless of sex. There's also an actress named Evan Rachel Wood. Morgan is kind of unisex - I've known a couple of each.

My thought is this: I love nn for girls that are boy names, like Sammy for Samantha, Charlie for Charlotte, or Jo for Josephine. I really don't like when girls are just given boy names. For one thing, it kind of "steals" traditionally masculine names, further reducing the names that are boy names. (I'm scared names like Logan and Evan will soon be abandoned by boys and become strictly girl names like Ashley). And, I also think that some girls might be really upset to have a "boy name" and could get teased.

?Say your girl Ryan turns out to be a total girly girl and is upset that she has a boy's name (or getting teased for it). If her name were, say Josephine, but you just called her Jo, she could always revert to the feminine long name. But if it's Ryan, she's kind of stuck. If you do this, I would at least give her a really feminine middle name.?

Even though I'm somewhat of a traditionalist, I LOVE the names Ryan and James for girls....

i like Blake for a girl paired with a girlie MN

ale84 · June 2009

I have a sorority sister named Blake, she's very girly and loves her name. I also teach a girl who's first name is Max, not short for anything, just Max (It's on her BC, I checked...). I don't particularly like the name Max for a girl, but I do like Blake.

Why do you want a boy name for your DAUGHTER? This makes no sense!

mrsjami · June 2009

My name is Jamie and it's unisex. I always liked having a name like this b/c people never know what they are getting until they meet me (for job interviews, school, etc).

Ryan is what we are probably naming our baby if it is a girl and?

Kelly if it is a boy. Both have meanings to us!
