What are your favorite names that are mostly used for one gender, but you love them for the other?
I love [name_m]Mitchell[/name_m] for a girl, and I think [name_u]Alma[/name_u] would be nice on a boy.

Like Jo for Josephine, Theo for Theodora, Kit for Katherine, Pip for Penelope … those are some faves!

[name_u]Willow[/name_u], [name_u]Skye[/name_u], [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] and [name_u]Raven[/name_u] for boys! And. Okay. Look, [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] is definitely a guilty pleasure, but the sounds- emer and -ald - it sounds more like names used for boys than for girls.
There are also a few unisex names that I prefer for one gender or the other. Like [name_u]Hollis[/name_u] and and [name_u]River[/name_u] for boys, and [name_u]Ocean[/name_u] and [name_u]Adair[/name_u] for girls. I like [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] as a boy name, but I kinda like the soft sound of it on girls, too.
