Could this be unisex?

in Baby Names
I just looked through an entire baby name book and found maybe 3-4 boy names I would even consider. I like Piper for a girl but could it be used fore a boy? I'm thinking no, but wanted to see what you girls thought. Or perhapse I should just hope I never have a boy!

    Please so not name a boy Piper. That's a girls name written all over it

    I don't think so, it's really a girls name. I would try going to this site if you are having a hard time coming up with ideas:

    https://www.nymbler.com/

    You can type in Piper or whatever other names you like, then select boys from the drop-down list and see what it suggests.

    That's what I thought. I was just streatching it a bit, lol. Why are boy names so hard? And I tried Nymler. Didn't like anything.

    Just weighing in...

    My nephews name is Dylan... and they use to call him "Piper" as a nick name (as in piper cub). Which really made it strange when they decided to name their youngest daughter Piper.

    It never seemed weird when he was called that... but now in retrospect it kind of does.

    While I think it could work, I think you'd be doing a lot of explaining and clairifying.

    Honestly, when I first heard the name Piper, I thought it was weird for a girl. However I've only ever seen it used for girls so no, I wouldn't use it for a boy.

    Piper is definitely a girl's name. I've never heard a boy named Piper. Parker, on the other hand, is a nice boy's name. :)

    No, no it cannot. I'm of the opinion no names should ever be "unisex," but Piper, being perceived as inherently feminine, should definitely not be used for a boy. He would be teased mercilessly.

    Negative. Not a fan of it for a girl either.
