When the gender lines for names blur I much prefer more “feminine” names for boys rather than “masculine” names for girls. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite name for a boy right now is [name_u]Morgan[/name_u]. What are some other names that might typically “go girl” but could work for a boy, BESIDES [name_u]Jordan[/name_u] and [name_u]Taylor[/name_u]? I’d love to hear your ideas! Thanks!
[name_u]Elliot[/name_u] and [name_u]Riley[/name_u] will always be boys names (Two of my cousins) don’t like that many people think they’re girl names.
I’d like to hear a little boy named [name_u]Avery[/name_u] again. That’s all I can think of for now.
[name_u]Courtney[/name_u]. It’s plummeting for the girls and has a strong enough sound to cross back over. I know a [name_u]Courtney[/name_u] in his 20s who wears this very well.
Great suggestions! Keep them coming!
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] are both in my top five for boys. While I can appreciate [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u] on a girl, I just picture my future little boy when I hear it. I can’t even imagine a girl named [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], which is a little odd since it is a truly unisex name.
I also like meeting little boys named [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_u]Riley[/name_u] and [name_u]McKinley[/name_u]. I also really appreciate [name_u]Charlie[/name_u] as a nickname for [name_m]Charles[/name_m] more than for [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f], for some reason.
[name_u]Payton[/name_u] is definitely one for me, but also [name_u]Addison[/name_u], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_u]Taylor[/name_u], [name_u]Ryan[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Leighton[/name_u], [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u], [name_u]Emerson[/name_u], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] (though I don’t mind it on a girl) and [name_u]Harper[/name_u] (see [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]).
What shocked me is that, [name_u]Ashton[/name_u], one of my top boys names, was once rather popular for a girl :S It reached the 200-300’s bracket (between #201 and #300) a total of 5 times - 1986 (267, coming out of nowhere), 1989 (260), 1994 (285), 1995 (296) and 1997 (294). Thankfully, that trend died in 2005. I can’t even begin to imagine [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] on a girl!
*[name_m]Just[/name_m] looked now - [name_u]Ashton[/name_u] was actually more popular on a girl throughout the 1980’s and 1990’s up until about 1998. :-S That’s slightly nauseating for me, I think.
I agree with all of these suggestions. Others:

Everyone is giving such awesome suggestions!
The only female name that I could seriously consider for a boy is [name_u]Artemis[/name_u]. If only my boyfriend agreed…
[name_u]Kimberly[/name_u]. I have known 4 boys named [name_u]Kimberly[/name_u], and I think that it’s better suited to boys not girls.
I must admit that I was surprised to learn that some boys were named [name_u]Kimberly[/name_u], although I did know a male [name_u]Kim[/name_u]. But then I found a site dedicated to guys named [name_u]Kim[/name_u] and quite a few guys there said their name was actually [name_u]Kimberly[/name_u].
There is of course a male [name_u]Kelly[/name_u] and a male [name_u]Chelsea[/name_u] that post here.
I’ve also known a male [name_u]Lindsay[/name_u] and [name_u]Leslie[/name_u] and [name_f]Erin[/name_f], and know of guys named [name_u]Kerry[/name_u], [name_u]Ashley[/name_u], [name_u]Brooke[/name_u], and a few others that escape me at the moment.
I love [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u], [name_u]Teagan[/name_u], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], and [name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u] as boy names. [name_u]Harper[/name_u] and [name_u]Eliot[/name_u] are my two gender-bender loves for girls, but I like them for boys too.
I love more “feminine” names on boys. Some of my favourite names include [name_u]Finley[/name_u], [name_u]Noah[/name_u], [name_u]Avery[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] and [name_u]River[/name_u] (although I love this name for either gender). It’s such a shame that these handsome names are ‘going to the girls,’ but that won’t stop me using them 
I love boy names on girls (only if they were originally male)
I love [name_u]Madison[/name_u], [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u], [name_u]Loren[/name_u] and [name_u]Bailey[/name_u] on boys. And hate them on girls.
I love all these names on boys:
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]
[name_u]Addison[/name_u]
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_u]Campbell[/name_u]
[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]

[name_u]Robin[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
[name_u]Whitney[/name_u]
I tend to prefer more ‘feminine’ names for boys as well some that have made my list…
[name_u]Ashley[/name_u]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_f]Mckenzie[/name_f]
[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
I have a male boss named [name_f]Carol[/name_f]. I prefer the more masculine spelling of this name however, [name_u]Carroll[/name_u].
[name_u]Ashley[/name_u] is also a name that was once considered male, but has been absconded by girls…
I am often told that many of my favorites are girl names, sound like girl names, or are too soft sounding. They are allowed their opinion, just like I am allowed mine, I think they are all handsome boy names.

[name_f]MY[/name_f] absolute favorites are [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] and [name_u]Darcy[/name_u], I also have a family friend named [name_u]Kelly[/name_u] and he wears it quite well
