Sawyer as a girls name??

parithed34 · February 2011

Thoughts on Sawyer as name for a girl?? I would probably go with Sawyer Jane, the Jane being after my grandmother. I'm interested to hear others thoughts....please!! Thanks!

Terrible ? it is a boy's name and should stay that way. It is like naming your daughter Richard or Jackson.

I agree, strongly dislike, I would hate for my name to have been something so masculine

catahoulatte · February 2011

Not a girl's name. I would rank it up there with naming a girl Matthew or something.

Jane is a beautiful name though!

Ick....Why do you want to name your GIRL a BOYS name, are you secretly wishing you are having a boy instead? and for the ladies that want to name their boys more girly names...are you secretly wanting a girl? Jimminy Christmas....

skmac05 · February 2011

Honestly, the only Sawyers I know are girls.

Nanna · February 2011

Abort! Abort! Abort! Walk away! Do not name your baby girl Sawyer. If my parents named me such a masculine name I would spend my life wondering if they had really rather I'd been a boy. I also would like be pissed to be spending so much time dealing with the "oh, you're a girl?" thing. Jane is lovely, though!

ARGH! I hate this trend of giving little girls boy names! Please don't, it's awful and if I ever meet a little girl named Ryan or Sawyer or Jack I will judge her parents' intelligence hardcore.

Ick! ~~~~~~~~~VOMIT

victoria1977 · February 2011

Ugh. No.

jordyntarice · February 2011

That's actually one of my mom's favorite names for a girl. She always told me if she had a 4th baby and it was a girl it would of been Sawyer. I say go with it, it's pretty!

Also I've only known 1 Sawyer and it was a girl.

msmerymac · February 2011

Dear god no. It's a last name that's marginal acceptable as a boy's first name, IMO.

Jane would be a great middle name, though.

AMB11 · February 2011

No, sorry, but just no.

hollytony · February 2011

I only know Sawyer's that are girls. I even have 1 in my family. It fits her perfect and she is very girly! Her middle name also begins with J. I love it so I say go for it.

Ick! for a boy

Ick! Ick! for a girl

Geauxmama11 · February 2011

Don't like it....that being said, most unisex names out there didn't start that way & were also for "boys" at one point in time.

NellaJ · February 2011

I do not like it for a girl. Jane is a great name though!

12bailey18 · February 2011

I usually like "boy name for girls" but Sawyer is terrible for a girl...LOL. I do like Jane, though.

Five_letter · February 2011

Extra terrible.

mlf625 · February 2011

Ick. I like some boy names for girls, but this one is just not nice. Jane is beautiful.

forensicmama · February 2011

Please no...

sugarpumpkin716 · February 2011

love sawyer, not jane.

jupiterthecat · February 2011

No, no, no, and no. Honestly, girl or boy, this is the only person who can really pull of the name Sawyer:

ryry1977 · February 2011

I like that name much better for a boy. Such a strong name.

msmerymac · February 2011

... and it's not even his real name.

maddiemoon43 · February 2011

It took a while to grow on my for my nephew even...cannot imagine a neice!

mybobofo · February 2011

I love it.

jadalynn25 · January 2014

I absolutely LOVE this name for a girl. It is my top choice if we find out we are having a girl. I dont think its at all like naming your girl Richard or Matthew. Thats ridiculous. And who cares if its a boys name or a girls name. Its your child, you do what you like best

NerdyLucy · January 2014

This is OLD.

I do.

BlueRidge8 · January 2014

Ug. I hate it for both sexes.

Soon2BMrsN · January 2014

I don't even like the name for a boy. So it's definitely not a good name for a girl.

MAtoMEbride · January 2014

I like it. I think it's really cute paired with Jane too.

melody921 · January 2014

I used to hate it, but now I think I've heard it often enough on a girl that it's growing on me.

meghannwoodward · July 2014

Because you named your baby something so much better? Nothing wrong with Sawyer, it's nowhere near naming a girl Ryan or Jack.

ABConleyTurner · July 2014

its so One Tree Hill...

WashingtonQueen · July 2014

@meghannwoodward, Are you trying to take a jab at a members already named child?

nat2424 · July 2014

I think it's precious for a girl. Are you from the US? Be aware that a lot of commenters are not from the US and it seems other countries are more anti-boy names on girls then us. I posted quite a bit about the name Brynn (for a girl) and got tons of "Brynn is a BOYS name!" before I realized the commenters were not from the US.

Good luck!!

nat2424 · July 2014

I really like it with Jane too!

nat2424 · July 2014

@nat2424 Um, no. MOST of the commenters are from the US. You have things backwards. Just because we think boy names on girls suck, doesn't mean we are foreigners.

I am from the US and yes, Bryn(n) is a boy name.

And again—this post is 3.5 years old. The OP has not been around since then.

Woah! Thats so strange it showed up at the top of the baby name boards. (I feel so clueless on here). Hopefully I haven't been posting on too many old posts!

BlueRidge8 · July 2014

It's so weird to scroll past a post you made forever ago in a zombie thread.

Thankfully, I still agree with myself.

MoFree · July 2014

I don't get the appeal of Sawyer. It's bad for a boy, god awful for a girl.
How about Sarah Jane, Samantha Jane, Sandra Jane.
