I have had the name Nolan picked out for a boy for years the found out that we are having a girl. What about Nolan for a girl's name?? Or other boy names for girls like Ryan? What do you ladies think???

    I've heard Ryan for girls- def don't name your girl Nolan. That's just mean. I'm not a fan of boy names for girls in general, or vise versa.

    Ryan is fine for a girl.

    I don't like Nolan for a boy, and there's no way I could ever see it as a girl's name.

    If you like it that much, what about as a middle name? Nolan would work great for a middle name, since middle names don't have to be gender-specific.

    I like boys names for girls.  We considered Ryan for our LO, but ended up taking it off the list.  We are considering another traditional boy name now.

    I have never heard of a girl named Nolan and think it is pretty masculine.

    I don't like either for a girl. Sorry. MH is named Kelly and he HATES his name since it's most commonly used for a girl. Please think of that before naming her.

    Nolan is in no way a girls name. Maybe Nola, Nicole, Noelle.....

    Yeah, no... I'm not a fan of boys names for girls. At all. Just my opinion though, of course.

    Name is sounding too butch.  I feel like when people give their kids names like that.. you're setting them up for a lifetime of teasing, lol.

    I don't like Nolan for a girl, but I love Ryan for a girl.  A friend from HS had a GF named Ryan and it was the first I had heard of it being used that way, but I loved it.

    I told DH how I liked the idea, but BIL is named Ryan - so that is out, but I'm having another boy anyways.

    Boy names for girls get a big No from me.

    I'm not a fan of boy names for girls.  In fact, I kinda hate them.  I think both Nolan and Ryan are fine boy names (especially if they're going to play baseball in Texas) but I wouldn't do that to a girl.  I like PP's suggestion of Noelle or something of the sort.  Nolan also wouldn't make a bad MN, IMO.

    I think it's a bad idea. What about Nola or Noel?

    I'm not a fan of boys' names for girls.  I think it causes a lot of problems.  My friend's mom was named "Randy" and she legally changed it, because she has so many issues with having a man's name, including issues with selective service (the draft), school placement, etc.

    I typically like unisex names, but I'm not liking Nolan.  Ryan, on the other hand, I like.  I know a little girl named Ryan, her name is spelled Ryonn.  I don't know about the weird spelling, but she's a great little girl!

    I agree neither am I. But I do like the idea of using Nolan as a middle name possibly. 

    I know how feel about wanting to use  name though. I've had my heart set on Elizabeth for as long as I can remember. Well I'm having my second boy lol.

    NMS at all.  As a teacher, I can see your DD being teased a lot because of her name.  I personally would not set my child up for that.

    There's a few girls out here with the name Ryan, and the actress Ryan Starr, so on so on.  I think it's cool.

     My first daughter is named Asa and outside of baby naming boards on the internet, no one in the real world had seemed to care that it's a boys name or treat her any differently because of it or make fun of her, nor has she had her life ruined.

    I'm not a fan of boy names for girls and vice versa... With that being said though, to each their own!
