XP: Thoughts on Girl Name

Stina2012 · December 2012

Also posted on Baby Names board...

DH is obsessed with Parker for a girl. The ILs also think it's a perfect name.

Our girl name would then be: Parker Bernice Mose-lee.

Thoughts?

My honest opinion is that Parker is more of a boys name...

I liked Parker for a boy but H has a wicked Boston accent and would most likely pronounce the name PaH-KaH lol

Personally, it's NMS.I'm not a fan of names crossing gender lines.

I think it sounds like a boy name too.

I have a friend with a little girl named Parker. When she first told me I was turned off, but its really grown on me. I think it's cute for a girls name, but if you're not sold on it, then don't use it. It is your baby too.

Do you like it? That's equally as important as your DH liking it, and a whole lot more important than your ILs opinions.

I don't really like it on a girl, but it's my nephew's name, so it's all boy to me.

I like it a lot !! My husband says no to about 90% that are out of the box lol. Go for it!

I like it.. but most importantly, if you and YH like it, then go for it.

PrimRoseMama · December 2012

I don't care for it.

Stina2012 · December 2012

I think it's a boys name! But I don't dislike it....I am torn on the name. There's no girls name I love, love, love right now so I'm just trying to see the reaction on the board. I think the reaction's typically 50/50 of folks liking it for a girl.

And yes, I do not give two sheets what the ILs think! DH will support me in whatever we pick so no worries there.

I like Parker for a boy.

Aurora317 · December 2012

My BFF's daughter is Molly Parker, and I've always thought it was adorable. If you both like it, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

dreadiemama · December 2012

If you like Parker then that's what matters.

I don't know how much you are attached to the middle name Bernice. If I were to use a gender crossing first name I would probably use a pretty feminine middle name in case she chooses to go by that when she is older.

I understand that Bernice is a girl name... but it still makes me think of my FIL who goes by "Bernie." I suck at middle names though, so I can give no help there other than constructive criticism.

Oh my gosh, thank you for pointing out accents. My family all have wicked Rhode Island accents and that's something I should take into consideration. Anything ending with an "r" should be taken out of the running!!

haha I'm glad you understand...it's funny because I do pronounce my Rs so it sounded great to me..then I said hmm how would H say it...oh crap that won't work! lol

My Mom's side of the family is all from Boston (Dorchester, originally) and they also have major accents so those names ending in R would be butchered!

It's all boy to me.

What do you think about it? I actually don't mind it. I don't think I'd use it but your name may remind people of the actress Parker Posey...she wasin all those funny movies like Best In Show, Waiting For Guffman, and a Mighty Wind. She's cute so I guess my connotations aren't negative.

MOMofGnGn+1 · December 2012

I like it better for a boy but think it could be good on a spunky little girl. If YOU like it too, then go for it!

Yep, that was my thinking, too. I don't mind the name, but Parker Moselee and Parker Posey are PRETTY similar.
