[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone! So the whole point of this post is to get your opinion on what my brother-in-law calls “boy” names for girls.For context, my younger sister is having twins (both girls) and she is really liking unisex names right now. What unisex names do you think work better for girls or boys. Thanks, [name_u]Dani[/name_u].

[name_u]Dylan[/name_u]
[name_u]Memphis[/name_u]
All these are great for girls.

Got a mix of nickname names, common unisex names, and some more out there ones since I wasn’t sure what they’d like! I think all of these work fine on each gender!

The only time I like unisex names on girls is if it’s a girl’s name which is a shortened unisex name. For instance
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] ([name_u]Charlie[/name_u]) my own name.
[name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] ([name_u]Alex[/name_u])
[name_f]Samantha[/name_f] ([name_u]Sam[/name_u])
[name_f]Maxima[/name_f] (max)
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] ([name_u]Jo[/name_u])
[name_f]Francesca[/name_f] ([name_u]Frankie[/name_u])
Etc
There are quite a few ‘boys names for girls’ that i like.
My favourites include
Everett
[name_u]Atlas[/name_u]
[name_u]Quincy[/name_u]
[name_u]Clarke[/name_u]

[name_u]Miller[/name_u]

I agree with PP who said [name_u]Devon[/name_u] and [name_u]Ellery[/name_u], those are such cute names. I also like:

I’m a fan of “boys” names on girls, in general. Some of my favourites are [name_u]Riley[/name_u], [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] / [name_u]Rhian[/name_u], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], [name_u]Reese[/name_u], [name_u]Logan[/name_u] and [name_u]Campbell[/name_u]. I think if I was to use them I’d pair them with a more distinctly feminine middle / first to balance them out e.g. [name_u]Riley[/name_u] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f], [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_u]James[/name_u], etc.

I personally see surname names as free game for either gender, though I have my own personal preference for most of them. I’m not the biggest fan of “traditional” boys names (think in the veins of [name_u]James[/name_u], [name_m]John[/name_m], etc) on girls and vice versa, but I can understand the appeal.
Some that I like are: [name_u]Reese[/name_u] (g), [name_u]Parker[/name_u] (both, leaning girl), [name_u]Riley[/name_u] (g), [name_u]Blair[/name_u] (g), [name_u]Blake[/name_u] (both), [name_u]Cameron[/name_u] (b), [name_u]Camryn[/name_u] (g), [name_u]Eden[/name_u] (g), [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] (both), [name_u]Harper[/name_u] (g), [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] (b), [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] (both, leaning boy)
I like River myself.
[name_m]Can[/name_m] be unisex but I see it more feminine due to the nature aspect personally.
The [name_f]Emma[/name_f] variants:
- Emmit
- Emmerson
Others:
- Everest
- Everly
- Ellery
