Girls names for boys

Okay berries, so tell me the girls names you like for boys! That might include girls names that used to belong to the boys ([name_u]Meredith[/name_u], [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]) or even girls names that work for boys too (e.g. [name_f]Juno[/name_f]… because it fits with the other -o ending names for boys like [name_m]Milo[/name_m], [name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_u]Arlo[/name_u]).

Go!

[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]
[name_u]Whitney[/name_u]
[name_u]Lindsay[/name_u]
[name_f]Jonquil[/name_f]
[name_u]Courtney[/name_u]
[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
Rose
Artemis
Kelly
Shannon
Brittany
Ivy

I love [name_f]Rose[/name_f] on a boy, and [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]. I can also see [name_f]Jonquil[/name_f].

[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
[name_u]Whitney[/name_u]

[name_f]Juno[/name_f] – I really wanted our new puppy to be named [name_f]Juno[/name_f], to which my OH replied “are you crazy, we can’t give her a boys’ name!”. I explained to him that it’s a girl name, but he insists that it’s too masculine. I have to admit I can see it working really well on a boy!

[name_u]Seren[/name_u] – [name_m]Just[/name_m] really love this on a boy.

[name_f]Estel[/name_f] – Tolkien fan here…

[name_f]Laurel[/name_f] and [name_u]Lauri[/name_u]
[name_u]Leigh[/name_u]
[name_f]Marin[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]

I’ll update with more when I remember them :stuck_out_tongue:

[name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Hester[/name_f]
[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]
[name_u]Madison[/name_u]
[name_f]Meg[/name_f]
[name_u]Ashley[/name_u]
[name_u]Kiva[/name_u]/[name_u]Keeva[/name_u]
[name_u]Lindsey[/name_u]
[name_f]Cat[/name_f]
[name_u]Demeter[/name_u]
[name_f]Kaylie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lux[/name_f]
[name_f]May[/name_f]/Mey/[name_f]Mei[/name_f]
[name_f]Reverie[/name_f]
[name_f]Natasha[/name_f]
[name_u]Kay[/name_u]/[name_m]Kea[/name_m]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]April[/name_f]
[name_u]Halle[/name_u]
[name_u]Loren[/name_u]
[name_f]Nell[/name_f]

Probably more but I can’t think of them right now.

[name_u]Whitney[/name_u]
[name_u]Kelly[/name_u]
[name_u]Haley[/name_u]
[name_u]Brooke[/name_u]/[name_m]Brooks[/name_m]

[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u] and [name_u]Artemis[/name_u].

[name_u]Madison[/name_u] - I love it soooo much, but ONLY on a boy (I’m planning on using it as a middle name in the future).
[name_f]Juno[/name_f]- To me, it fits better on a boy.

Some of the names I like better as boys’ names : [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], [name_f]Marin[/name_f], [name_u]Kelly[/name_u], [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] and in [name_m]French[/name_m], [name_f]Camille[/name_f].

I like a lot of female-leaning unisex names just as much, if not more, on a boy:

[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_u]Rue[/name_u]
[name_u]Robin[/name_u] (OK, it’s the [name_f]Robyn[/name_f] spelling, but this is much more popular for girls at the moment in the UK)
[name_u]Cass[/name_u]
[name_u]Jess[/name_u]

I quite like [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] and [name_u]Kelly[/name_u] for boys too, as well as [name_f]Islay[/name_f], [name_u]Nicola[/name_u], [name_u]Andrea[/name_u], [name_u]Sasha[/name_u], [name_u]Misha[/name_u] and other similar foreign imports.

I really like [name_u]Sasha[/name_u] and [name_u]Madison[/name_u] for boys!

[name_u]Ashley[/name_u], I hate it on a girl, but love it on a boy!

I have more than I thought! Some I prefer on boys, the ones with asterisks I like for both.

[name_u]Lesley[/name_u]
[name_u]Ashley[/name_u]
[name_u]Addison[/name_u]
[name_u]Madison[/name_u]
[name_u]Mackenzie[/name_u]
[name_u]Bellamy[/name_u]
[name_u]Stacey[/name_u]
[name_u]Sidney[/name_u]
[name_u]Kelsey[/name_u]*
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]/[name_u]Rowen[/name_u]*
[name_u]Avery[/name_u]
[name_u]Darcy[/name_u]
[name_u]Paris[/name_u]
[name_u]Sascha[/name_u]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]*
Nightingale
[name_f]Camille[/name_f]*
[name_u]Jean[/name_u]-[name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_u]Remi[/name_u]
[name_f]Mary[/name_f]/[name_f]Marie[/name_f]/[name_f]Maria[/name_f]* as middles or double-barrels

[name_u]Casey[/name_u] is one of my favorites for a boy, but DH says it’s too girly! I feel nothing much cowboy-ish masculinity when I hear it though! Others are [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], [name_u]Robin[/name_u],Jordan, and [name_u]Sidney[/name_u]. All are technically unisex, but they seem to only be found on girls nowadays especially because of people like my DH who like to carry on the gender inequality.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] this thread:

I’m not going to talk about the unisex names (i.e. [name_u]Quinn[/name_u], [name_u]Dara[/name_u], [name_u]Sydney[/name_u], [name_u]Robin[/name_u], [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] etc) - only the names that are originally female that I would like to see on a boy:

[name_u]Seren[/name_u]
[name_f]Kenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f] (not a huge fan of [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], but I think [name_f]Olive[/name_f] works on a boy as much as on a girl)
Zennor
[name_f]Blythe[/name_f] (AOGG reference)
[name_f]Aphra[/name_f]
[name_f]Grainne[/name_f]
[name_f]Hedy[/name_f]
[name_f]Ethel[/name_f] (although I guess this is technically unisex if you went all the way back to Ethelred the Great etc)
[name_f]Martine[/name_f]
[name_f]Valerie[/name_f]
[name_u]November[/name_u]
[name_f]Lotus[/name_f]
[name_f]Lapis[/name_f]
[name_u]Teagan[/name_u]
[name_u]Halley[/name_u]
