Scout for a boy?

[name_m]Just[/name_m] wondering what your thoughts are on [name_u]Scout[/name_u] for a boy? It’s not a very popular name for girls in my province (less than 10 babies given the name last year), but I know it is typically used for girls.

Pregnant with our fourth and having the hardest time choosing a name!

I think it works! When I first heard [name_u]Scout[/name_u] I thought it was a boys name so I don’t see why it can’t be.

I like [name_u]Scout[/name_u]! It would be a sweet and unexpected name for a baby boy. I think it’s really wearable!
Some other suggestions if your not sold on [name_u]Scout[/name_u]. These have a similar feel to each other IMO: [name_m]Fletcher[/name_m], [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], [name_u]Chance[/name_u], [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_u]Brooks[/name_u], [name_u]Griffin[/name_u], [name_u]Jett[/name_u] etc.

Good luck!

My kids grew up with two brothers named [name_u]Maverick[/name_u] and [name_u]Scout[/name_u]. Totally works for a boy.

I think [name_u]Scout[/name_u] can definitely work for either a boy or a girl after all there is the Boy Scouts! I like the name it’s spunky and upbeat.

Scout could work for a boy. I can see a little boy named [name_u]Scout[/name_u] instead of a little girl with that name.

I don’t see why not. Seems like a true unisex name.

I think [name_u]Scout[/name_u] can be used for both boy/girl so would definitely suggest it for a boy if you’re considering it. I follow a YouTuber who’s daughters middle name is [name_u]Scout[/name_u] but don’t see why it shouldn’t work on a boy too.

I always thought that [name_u]Scout[/name_u] sounded more masculine! I’d say go for it! It feels like a sweet and adventurous name, with similar vibes as [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], [name_m]Tucker[/name_m], [name_u]Forest[/name_u] and [name_m]Wesley[/name_m]!

That’s a hard one because I don’t even like [name_u]Scout[/name_u] for a girl.
