This is a pet peeve of mine when people use masculine names on girls. I hate seeing little girls called [name]Morgan[/name], [name]Jordan[/name], [name]Hayden[/name], [name]Taylor[/name] etc. It’s really annoying, and agree with everyone who says adding a Y to the name makes it look tacky and worse. As for [name]Jason[/name], it should stay well away from any newborn girls, as for the spelling [name]Jaysen[/name]…I can’t get it through my head how that makes it look feminine at all.
I really don’t get this - not even a little bit. I admittedly don’t like boy names on girls (that’s different from unisex names), but I just don’t see at all why this could seem remotely feminine. And [name]Jaysen[/name] don’t look less masculine - it looks really close to [name]Jayden[/name] which is super popular for boys. [name]Just[/name] baffling all the way around for me.
I wouldn’t consider it. I would hesitate to use a name that is traditionally given to boys for my girl. I always picture my future daughter as an awkward 13 year-old, and I worry that having a masculine name would just make her feel that much more uncomfortable.
There are some names that I think could work for either gender - like [name]Taylor[/name] or [name]Jordan[/name]. I dislike adding a y to a name in the hopes of making it seem more feminine. I think that if you’re going to name your daughter [name]Ryan[/name] or [name]Jason[/name], then at least spell it [name]Ryan[/name] or [name]Jason[/name].
…no
I would feel gypped if my parents named me anything boyish. Unisex, is ok. But [name]Jason[/name] would truly make me resent them. It would make me question how they thought [name]Jason[/name] would be best for a girl when there are millions of beautiful girl names in the world. Also, I think it would make me feel like they wanted a boy. Leading to more resentment.
Dear god no. To me this would be the equivalent in terms of ridiculousness of a boy named [name]Claire[/name].
I agree 100% with the first response, taylorblueskye. [name]Jason[/name] is just not a name that can make the jump from masculine to feminine. And the spelling “[name]Jaysen[/name]” is just awful. So awful. I don’t mean to offend, or be judgmental, but when I see names spelled wrong with gratuitous letters, it just gives me such a trashy vibe. No. [name]Just[/name] no.
Good lord no.
I don’t mean to be harsh, but I’m just down right tired of this boys-names-on-girls trend. [name]Jason[/name] is a steady boys name that does not need to be tarnished by a girl named [name]Jaysen[/name].
No.
I don’t mind [name]Jason[/name] as a boy’s name but it has to be spelled correctly ([name]Jason[/name].) For a girl, I think it’s terrible and the incorrect (“creative”) spelling only makes it work. I think creative spelling makes parents seem uneducated.
HA! Can I just say a big THANK YOU to all you lovely berries out there who replied to this with gigantic NO and helped me prove my point! I told my friend that just because a name looks “trendy” doesn’t make it a good name, and I think with three pages of disapproval that may have finally sunk in. You all might have saved some poor little girl years of teasing.
But that aside, I have to say, I do like SOME boys names on girls, and think of how many names started out as male and are now strictly female. There’s [name]Courtney[/name], [name]Leslie[/name], [name]Ashley[/name], [name]Dana[/name], and [name]Jodi[/name], just to name a few. But seriously, I don’t see [name]Jason[/name]/[name]Jaysen[/name] taking off as a girls name, well…ever.
I know way too many guys named [name]Jason[/name] to be able to think of it as a girl’s name! I don’t think the weird spelling helps much. [name]Jaycee[/name] would be alright for a girl, although it’s not my style.
I think [name]Jason[/name] is pushing the mark … sure, this might be a new trend in another decade or so, but I firmly believe [name]Jason[/name] is a boy’s name. Sorry 
To nat108.
Someone chooses to use a “Y”, so you decide they need to be SLAPPED!?
If rudeness is not allowed on this site, why is encouraging violent acts?

Okay, I’m new to this site. I logged in wondering about options for a female character (yes, I write) with allusions to someone named [name_m]JASON[/name_m]… I thought there might be creative solutions or suggestions for expectant mothers. But I get “slapping”! I hope this kind of from-the-hip nastiness is rare
I kind of liked the resourceful, “[name_m]Jaysen[/name_m]”. I don’t think the use of Y is deemed magical in gender issues; my support of the spelling [name_m]Jasyn[/name_m] would be because I had a dear colleague, very feminine, who’s name was [name_f]Joslyn[/name_f]. A letter, like Y for example, may have some gender quality because of the popularity of names currently in use for females that use Y in similar letter combinations.
My friend used to like Jaycen on a girl. I really hope those days have passed because I told her time and time again how revolting that name was. It got even worse when she tried to make peace with me by using my name as the middle name. I wouldn’t let her because I figured it was my name (and since I spell it weirdly it is ONLY my name).
It was a joke… No need to get your panties in a twist.
For a while i wanted to name a female character Jaesynn and i still have a liking for it, obviously as a GP only. So while I wouldn’t recommend naming a real life female child any form of [name_m]Jason[/name_m] I can’t judge.
