A lot of these have mythological or biblical connections and I personally don’t think it’s appropriate to gender swap those unless they’re already established as more unisex names (like [name_u]Maria[/name_u] for example). The only ones things I think that actually might work would be [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_u]Maria[/name_u], [name_u]Tory[/name_u] (I’ve met or seen guys named all three of these) and maybe [name_f]Lana[/name_f] and [name_f]Lara[/name_f]. But the ones I genuinely like the idea of a boy, despite my personal opinions are~
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] (love for a boy)
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] (for me I’d use this as a pet name for a son since I’m Latino and speak Spanish)
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] (never thought of this for a boy but it sounds pretty cool, [name_f]Lydian[/name_f] would be a nice alternative)
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] (think this works fine as a nn)
[name_f]Mila[/name_f]
based off of the title, I’m guessing you’re asking which names I would use for a boy?
[name_f]Gabrielle[/name_f], [name_u]Tory[/name_u], [name_f]Eve[/name_f], and [name_f]Lara[/name_f] would be the ones I most likely would. None of these names really jump out and say “boy name” to me though.
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] jumped out at me for a boy
I only like [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] for a boy!!! So cute! Maybe [name_f]Luci[/name_f] or other alternate spelling of these would be cool?
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f] (Yves is a boy name pronounced Eve)
[name_f]Luna[/name_f] (reminds me of Luan)
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] (Rose would work better and I love that for a boy
)
[name_f]Mila[/name_f]
[name_f]Loretta[/name_f]

I had forgotten that I love [name_u]Tory[/name_u] for a boy.
I could see [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], too

I’m going to mention [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] as a nn for [name_m]Lucifer[/name_m] (I know it’s not great but it’s better than some).

I probably wouldn’t use any myself, but I like the idea of [name_u]Tory[/name_u] for a boy a lot!

I think [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] would be quite cute on a boy, especially as a nickname!
Another would be [name_u]Tory[/name_u].

I think that I could maybe see Tory…and that’s probably it.
