My nephew had his 1st daughter yesterday and named her...

Nolan Harper R (3 syllable - sounds like Robinson).

 

I like Harper, but Nolan is a boy's name IMO.

 

WDYT?

    That's a pretty masculine name for a little girl! Butt 8 do like Nolan for a boy and Harper for a girl.

    Nolan is most def a boy's name IMO. Harper I liked until it got overly popular with the Hollywood crowd.

    I'm confused as to why someone would name their little girl that. It sounds so masuline!  :-/

    Agreed. He and his wife kept the baby's gender and name choices a secret until the baby was born.  I guess they didn't want to deal with the judgment they would have gotten.

    That's my nephew's name. Well Nolan, anyway.

    NMS...I think that Nolan really isn't one of those gender neutral type of names.

    My older daughter is Harper and I know of a ton of other little girls named Harper (it's gotten insanely popular since I named her 2.5 years ago!) but Nolan is most definitely a boy name to me. In fact, it was our "back up" name if Harper came out with the wrong parts ;-)

    I think names have gotten pretty fluid in their gender associations. While Nolan skews male, once upon a time I would have said Eliott was clearly a boy name, too, and yet it's trending for girls right now. It seems to only work boy name to girl name, though.

    yeah, Nolan was on our boys list.  Harper would have been so much better but methinks Harper is the new Emma or Bella.  SO popular.

    I actually have a girl Nolan in one of my classes and she is one of the sweetest, prettiest girls I've ever had in class.  I agree that is it is a bit different but not totally out of the norm!

    I agree. It was a lot further down the charts when I named DD that but I think it'll crack the top 100 next year. Especially after the Beckhams used it. Seems like EVERYONE I tell her name to goes "oh I know a little girl named Harper too!" these days. So much for picking out something I thought was going to be unique ;-) At least she might see her name on mugs and keychains some day! My other daughter's name isn't even in the top 1000 though and I doubt it'll ever be popular.
