Landry for a girl?

ougrad1 · December 2009

I'm EARLY even thinking about this but, it's fun!

Is it a family name? If not, I don't like it at all (sorry). It sounds too much like laundry, and too much like a surname.

Oh, and congrats!

It seems a bit masculine to me. You know, as in Tom Landry.

I don't like it for a girl at all. It's a very common surname here in Louisiana, and the only people I know of who have it as a first or middle name are boys (and I believe in those instances it's the mom's maiden name).

If it's a family name, maybe you could use it as a middle name. But I don't think it works as a first name for a girl at all.

No! Sounds very masculine and I don't even like it for a boy. Plus, it reminds me of the dorky kid on Friday Night Lights.

SO excited for you!

I like it for a boy. Not so much for a girl.

I love it! It is actually on my list but having trouble getting my loving husband on board.

I am not sure... when I first read it I thought it said Laundry!

I agree with all of this.

Well dang it. Most ladies hated Emerson when I first mentioned it as well. Perhaps it'll grow on ya'll.

Thanks Mandy!!!! : )

I don't love it for a little girl. It reminds me of the Landry's chain.

This, though a Nestie on my local board in using Landry Kate.

Nope, can't stand it. It's a last name and every time I read it, it looks like Laundry.

angelynn8411 · December 2009

all i see is Laundry, and then when i say it, it even sounds like someone with a weird accent saying "laundry"

schnappycat · December 2009

Sorry, but I have to agree with it sounding like a boy. Especially since I'm a big fan of Friday Night Lights and that is one of the character's names.

Not a fan, but congrats on your pregnancy! What a blessing

I'm sorry but this name reminds me of the restaurants. If you ever move to TX people will associate the name with them.

I lived in Dallas for 35 years and wouldn't have thought about that. : )

I actually like it...but I am in the south too and goodness knows we love our surnames for first names and gender neutral/masculine names for girls. I love Emerson and it was on our top 3 list for a girl (as was Reid which got trashed on this board for a girl).

Chrissymarie98 · January 2010

sorry not my style.

but go for what you love

That is not a name that would be used at all where I live, but seeing that you are in the South, I think it might be more popular. It does sound like a last name, but that seems to be a trend that a lot of people are following right now.

l_elizabeth · January 2010

It's one of our top three options for a boy. I can't see naming a girl this.
