Opinions on a boy and girl name

Okay, Ive had nothing but mean/ rude feedback when I post for opinions but I will try again since I really want to be a part of this community. 
What do you think of the name Logan Michael for a Boy? So far this is our number one name.
My friend reminded me the Logan is techincally a unisex name (although I have only viewed it as a boy's name) but since we are having a hard time with girls names...
What are your opinions on Logan Ann for a girl? ( I don't know if I like tha -an ending and then having the middle name Ann too but the middle names have a deep meaning to me so they stay.) I am on the fence so I just wanted other opinions. It is growing a lot of my husband...
The other name is a name my mom came up with and is also one that my husband and I finally both really like. What do you think of Evie Ann? I know everyone here hates different spelling here but what do you think about...
Evi (Not a fan of how short it is but my mom says it is grammarically correct)
Eevee (I did NOT make this up, not a fan of the double ee's but If you have to be down right rude just don't make a comment okay?)
Edit: What about Evangeline Ann? ... I loved the name when it was posted but what do you think about it with Ann as a middle name?
You will never know how much you mean to me my little jelly Bean.
Mommy loves you Eevee!

Re: Opinions on a boy and girl name
I like the name Logan for a boy. Not for a girl. For a boy I think it's a very nice name. And Michael is a fine middle name.
I like Evie but really only as a nn. Do you like any of the longer names? I don't like either of the alternative spellings.
(Just a head's up... telling people whether they can post or not based on their possible response will not go over well here. Just trying to make it easier on you, not at all trying to be snarky).
Logan Michael - YAY!
Logan Ann - not a fan of Logan for a girl.
Evie Ann - sounds like a nickname and doesn't sound like it'll grow with her.
I can't control what they post, it's a reminder that not everything people post has to be rude. Thank you though
I know I am setting my self up but I was really hurt last time I posted and I just wanted opinions and I think people need to be reminded that their words can hurt.
And yeah...I am not a fan of the other spelling ethier just putting it out there...Hmm and I don't like how short Evie is.
Any suggestions on girls names? I love how Evie is cute but your are right it is a much better nn. I liked Oliva but my husband wasn't for it (he has a cousin named Olivia) bummer.
Mommy loves you Eevee!

I never thought of Evangeline. Thank you! Another name to the tiny list.
You guys are right Evie won't grow with her... Hmmm back to the drawing board.

I don't see Logan as a unisex name. It is a boy's name. What a poor boy in 1st grade who has a girl Logan in class too and gets made fun of for it. I feel so bad for those kids.
Evie is fine but you can't give a person a cutesy name, they need a formal one. Eva, Evelyn, Evangeline even the awful Everly. But give her the option of using the full name. You wouldn't name a child Tony right? No, you'd name them Anthony.
Francesca Pearl is here! Josephine Hope is almost 3!
I never saw Logan as a girl's name ether. I wish they would change that on baby names because it caught me off guard. In fact it's one of the reasons I am against using the name Logan. Is that weird?
I never thought of it like that...I find Olivia cute too. Do you think that is cutting it close? I do find it hard to see an Olivia as an adult name.
Mommy loves you Eevee!

Just off the top of my head...
Alice
Allison
Josie (Josephine?)
Leah
Beatrice (Bea?)
Vivian (Viv?)
Kelsey
Tessa (Tess?)
Nina
I really don't know if any of this are your style.
I agree with this completely. Evangeline with the nn Evie seems like a really great compromise (and it's lovely).

Logan Michael is nice. While I wouldn't name my daughter Logan, I have known several female Logans (Logan Marie and Logan Michelle) and they have not been scarred for life.
That being said, I'm not a big fan of Logan Ann. What about Logann? You could honor that person in spelling (but pronounce it the same way)
I really like Evangeline, but again, not Evangeline Ann. What about Evanngeline? If you are going to call her Evie anyway, the full spelling might not bother you. Or you could use Evie Ann as a nn.
If you are changing the spelling of Evie so that people will pronounce it correctly, your efforts are counter-productive. Anyone who sees Evie will say "Ee-vee." If you are just trying to be different, frankly, I disagree with that thought process so I can't help you.
Also- what about Evelyn Ann, or Everly Ann, nn Evie?
1) Logan is NOT and has never been a unisex name. It is a boy's name. Period.
2) Logan Michael is a great name. Logan Ann is an atrocity.
3) Evangeline Ann is wonderful. NN Evie. Evi and Evee are horrible. Just...no.
This. I like Evangeline for a girl nn Evie (with only this spelling). I'm also not sure that Ann flows really well, but I also wouldn't nix it completely based on this, how often do you call a child by their full first and middle names anyway?
Logan IS A BOYS name please dont give it to a girl~ Logan Michael is fine.
Hate Evie or Evangeline
Logan for a boy =
Logan for a girl =
Evie as a first name =
Evageline = GREAT name!
I am obviously in the minority here but I love Logan for a girl and don't think its going to ruin any little boys lives if there is a girl Logan in their class You can't control what names become "unisex" over time if that's just how they migrate. I don't know why everyone gets so defensive about it.
That said though I do prefer Evangeline nn Evie for a girl but agree don't think it flows so well with Ann
It may not ruin some little boy's life, but it may ruin the life of the little girl named Logan. Think about it this way: how many official forms do you fill out in your life that include a box for sex? Yeah, not everyone who checks those forms bothers to double check which box is marked (male or female) if they see a name like Michael, Elizabeth, Ryan, Logan, Mary. Those names are very definitely gender-specific. Do you want your daughter Logan to be put in the boy's gym class in middle and high school? How about the boy's dorms at college? Requested to fill out a draft card when she turns 18? Would you like her to constantly receive mail throughout her adult life addressed to Mr. Logan LN?
Are you starting to see the real, tangible issues with giving a little girl a boy name?
Also, you'll find that the tone of this board tends to be more traditional in terms of maintaining the integrity of names. So Logan on a girl will not be a popular opinion.
I think that ChelsiAnn13 was referring to post like this when she asked that people be kind. I've also found that people can be rather mean when giving "advice". Bubbalub, you don't need to call a name an "atrocity", you can politely say you don't like it and it's more useful if you say WHY you don't like it. Also, I don't know why you think you are the authority on whether names are unisex or not, but I have known several female Logan (as have other posters), so I think that it disproves you "is NOT and has never been a unisex name." Just because you don't like it as a unisex name doesn't mean that it isn't one.
Yes, I agree with you, I don't like Logan as a girl's name, and I don't think that the girls who had this name liked the fact that they were named it, but that's my OPINION and I'm not going to claim that because I don't like something it doesn't exist. I feel like you are constantly being rude and bullying people when they are asking for name advice. Like you, I prefer more traditional names and definitely more traditional spellings, but unlike you, I always try to be polite when giving my opinion. It wouldn't hurt to be a little nicer, you can still get your point across.
Maybe it is more of a geographical problem but I live in very large city and can assure you that if there was a Logan in a class the teacher would not automatically assume boy. And I think you are being a little dramatic (sorry) by thinking that all the childs life they will be put in a boys dorm or asked to fill out a draft card adn their life ruined?? Like that all wouldn't be an easily corrected misunderstanding if it were. Maybe when we were all kids the generation above us would have been a little more judgmental about unisex names but whether you like it or not our kids generation have a whole new set of rules that society around us is dictating. I have three kids and none have "unisex" names so this is not coming from a place of bias (although my DD was almost Ryan) I just really don't understand why it would bother you so much. Your opinions are just that, opinions.
