I would love to hear some opinions on the name [name_u]Cypress[/name_u] for a boy. We really want something Forest/Nature related and our top names right now are [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] and [name_u]Everest[/name_u]. But… for some reason, I can’t stop coming back to [name_u]Cypress[/name_u]. I love that it’s a tree name and I’m obsessed with the nickname [name_m]Cy[/name_m]! But is it too different? Too girly? Are [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] and [name_u]Everest[/name_u] just better? [name_u]Or[/name_u] is it really cool? Talk me into or out of [name_u]Cypress[/name_u]!

I am pro- [name_u]Cypress[/name_u]! I like both [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] and [name_u]Everest[/name_u] as well! All three are handsome nature names, and I would assume they are all boys (so not too girly imo)
I’ve kind of always liked [name_u]Cypress[/name_u] more as a middle name, probably because I just have one combination I really love: [name_u]Bodhi[/name_u] [name_u]Cypress[/name_u]
but [name_m]Cy[/name_m] is such a sweet nickname, and I think with your style he’d be an awesome first name choice.
Team [name_u]Cypress[/name_u]! Such a cool name and very unexpected. It’s gender neutral but definitely masculine to me! [name_u]Love[/name_u] it 
However I do really like [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] nn [name_m]Shep[/name_m] as well!
[name_u]Cypress[/name_u] is gorgeous! Such a distinct and sunny sound
I enjoy the name [name_u]Cypress[/name_u]. Different but similar in sound to [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]. So it would be too outlandish to live with
I love [name_u]Cypress[/name_u] for either gender. Go for it!
Must admit I love [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] much more than your other options… [name_m]Cy[/name_m] is a very cool nickname though! Reminds me of [name_m]Cy[/name_m] [name_m]Young[/name_m] which is a fun sporty link. (His name was actually Denton?! But [name_m]Cy[/name_m] came from “cyclone”. [name_u]Cypress[/name_u] is much better than Cyclone lol.)
I love [name_u]Cypress[/name_u]. I don’t think [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] sounds like a nature name really, more like an occupation name.
Here to talk you into [name_u]Cypress[/name_u]. (; [name_u]Cypress[/name_u] is amazing and the nickname [name_m]Cy[/name_m] is absolutely perfect. While I wouldn’t dislike the name on a girl, I would definitely assume it was for a boy. Not girly at all. I do really love the other names you are considering as well (especially Shepherd), but [name_u]Cypress[/name_u] is my favorite of the three. [name_u]Cypress[/name_u] and [name_m]Shepherd[/name_m] would be a terrific sibset one day.
It sounds feminine to me, I think because of duchess, empress, heiress etc. [name_m]Just[/name_m] similar sounds with those feminine words.
I like [name_u]Everest[/name_u] [name_u]Cypress[/name_u], or how about [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m] nn [name_m]Cy[/name_m]?
