Brodie for a girl?

Girl Names

I have been really liking [name_m]Brodie[/name_m] (spelt like that) for a girl. [name_m]How[/name_m] do you guys feel about it??

Ps. It means ‘little ridge’ in Scottish rather than son of anything.

Its really cute…

I knew a girl called [name_m]Brodie[/name_m] growing up, and was totally unaware that its generally used for boys until I joined this site. It’s a lovely name, and worked very well for her.

I like it! I’m pretty sure there was an Aussie actress called [name_m]Brodie[/name_m].

I don’t like that it has -bro- in it, and the fact that there are so many similar names for girls you could be choosing, it seems a little unnecessary.
[name_f]Birdie[/name_f], [name_f]Bridie[/name_f] and [name_f]Briar[/name_f] all come to mind.

It’s fine. I’d prefer to see it spelled the traditional way, but I don’t see anything wrong or out of place with it.

I know two female [name_m]Brodie[/name_m]'s one of them is in her late 20’s and my sisters teacher and the other is around my age. I’m not a big fan of the name on either gender but I think it works fine on a girl.

It would not be my choice but think it is fine for a girl. I picture a little tomboy climbing trees and scraping her knees.

I too knew a girl called [name_m]Brodie[/name_m] growing up and always assumed it was a girls name because I knew no different. I say that speaks volumes!

Detest it on a girl.

11

Dislike, sorry. It seems too masculine to me.

12

I really don’t like [name_m]Brodie[/name_m] on a girl…or a boy. It’s very masculine since it has “bro” in it.

13

It’s just ok. It’s not really my style for either gender. If you like it though go for it!

14

Boys name.

I think it sounds ugly for a girl but lovely for a boy.

15

In my opinion the only truly unisex names are words. Any others are like telling your kid they were born the wrong gender

16

I think it’s cute for a girl!

17

It’s not feminine, if you ask me, even with that spelling. I’ve know two boys, one [name_m]Brody[/name_m] (short for [name_m]Broderick[/name_m]) and one [name_m]Brodie[/name_m]. I can’t get over the “bro” in the name. That puts it over-the-top masculine for me. Sorry but I can’t picture it.

18

Can’t edit my post but I wanna add that it’s not my least favorite boy-name-on-a-girl name, just not one I’d consider. I feel that it’s not my style more than I feel it’s a bad name.

I completely agree!
