I consider it for both (I keep thinking of the country song "If this is Austin". I think the key with unisex names is pairing it with something very feminine such as Austin Jessica or Austin Rose. My friends daughter is Isabell Ryan and I love the male middle name. If you would be bothered by others opinions maybe consider Austin as a middle name.

i think its cute for a girl.... i made my dd middle name james..i love boy names for girls well some..not the very boyish names.. but i think austin...could go with both... and as long as its what u like go for it!
It is actually on my list for a boy name... but it has been popular to use boy names as girl names. If you like it, then go for it. Maybe pair it with a really feminine middle name?

The only person I've ever known named Austin was a girl. At first I didn't like it, but it fit her, and she was very "girlie" so the name was fine. If the girl was a real tomboy though I can see it being a problem.

Two notes: I have a girlfriend named Ryann, but when she was 5 they added an extra 'n' at the end because everyone thought it was a boy. So she's Ryann and often gets called Ry-ANN when people first read it.
My brother's name is Austin. I think it's definitely a boy name. You have to remember this little girl will be in school and when teacher's get their class list they will think it's a boy when they look at the name.

This is exactly where I am getting it from... I heard that song the other day and I was like hmmmm
Thanks for all your comments! That was interesting to hear your responses. I kind of like different names (my DD is Remy Pearl) and Remy is used as a boys name usually...but it meant something to me since it is French and we took a trip there the year she was conceived etc...I also agree that if I did use Austin for a girl then she would have a super girly middle name. I am not even prego again yet, but i am always brainstorming names!
Re: What do you think of this name for a girl?

I know of several boys with this name. I have hear of a girl named Dakota... so Austin may work...
I like Finley and Emerson personally and I've been told both of those are boy names.

I love Finley for a girl... actually it's on my VERY short list
ditto
Austin for a boy or girl really isn't my style. However, I do like other " boy" names for girls like Rian, and Andi, and Sam.
I agree...
Ditto this.
