First off, I am not considering this. My boy list is air tight and I prefer Mallow on a girl (has the same sounds, feel). I actually KNOW someone with a son named [name_f]Willow[/name_f] (MN [name_u]Puck[/name_u] btw). I am not knocking it all. The boy wears it well and I do feel that gender ambiguous names do unfairly lend more to girls than boys. So how do you feel about this? Is [name_f]Willow[/name_f] gender neutral? I’d like to argue that since nature is both male and female, so should be nature names, however, I would be hard pressed to convince myself that [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f], [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f], [name_f]Freesia[/name_f], etc. could somehow work on a boy. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you feel that [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is too distinguished to the girls to work for a boy?
I love [name_f]Willow[/name_f] for a girl. That is our number one name for a future girl. That being said, it could possibly work for a boy. I just really prefer it for a girl because it has a more soft and feminine sound.
[name_m]Even[/name_m] though [name_f]Persephone[/name_f]'s second middle is [name_f]Willow[/name_f], I think it works fine on a boy. I know two male Willows and neither of them use nicknames. It has [name_m]Will[/name_m] as a nickname, and it has the same sounds as [name_m]Milo[/name_m] and [name_m]Hugo[/name_m].
Well [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is quite androgynous since its a nature name, although it tends to be used more for girls. It could work. Use it if you love it. 
It was the FN of the main character of the fantasy movie with the same name, which I was quite enamored with as a child, so it has always felt unisex to me for sure. I would love to meet a little boy named [name_f]Willow[/name_f].
Agree with [name_f]Moon[/name_f]. My introduction to [name_f]Willow[/name_f] as a name was the movie, with a male [name_f]Willow[/name_f]. I love it for both genders. I’ve never met a real male [name_f]Willow[/name_f], but I think it’s almost more suited to males than females, although it’s great for the girls, too.
I met my first [name_f]Willow[/name_f] ever last month- a man in his 30s. Never been crazy about [name_f]Willow[/name_f] on a girl but I like it for boys
When it comes to nature names most just blindly go with the gender they’ve heard it on. If they’ve heard it on a girl then it’s 100% a girl name. Of course there are names that just work better on one gender but many “girly” nature names are not all that feminine. I’m constantly defending [name_f]Jade[/name_f] for a boy because apparently green rocks are female. And also [name_f]Azure[/name_f] is female even though the color blue usually signifies male.
I’m not one of those “it’s a nature name so it’s automatically unisex” people. I think it’s pretty safely a girls name given that its history of use as a name has mostly been for females.
I find it interesting that several berries happen to know a man named [name_f]Willow[/name_f]. From 1965-1995, it was used 5 times or more three times (6x in 1991 and 5x in each 1979 and 1992).
I don’t especially like it on boys, but it could probably work. Reminds me of the movie : )
I think [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is great for a boy. Names ending in -o are gaining popularity, so I don’t think he’d be too out of place.
I think it could work great. Especially starting with “[name_m]Will[/name_m]-.”
I have a son named [name_f]Wren[/name_f], and that is usually a girls’ name, but we’ve not heard anything but positive comments on it.
3 people is several?
Yes I know a male [name_f]Willow[/name_f]. I also know a male [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f] and a male [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]. Actually I know a lot of men with “feminine” names. [name_m]Just[/name_m] one of the perks of being raised in one of the most diverse and eclectic parts of the country
I just happen to run in a diverse crowd. Men down here in the south tend to get names like [name_u]Ashley[/name_u], [name_u]Shannon[/name_u], [name_u]Whitney[/name_u], [name_u]Darcy[/name_u] etc still and I run in the pagan and art crowd, so know some very greatly named people. I don’t know if both the men I know named [name_f]Willow[/name_f] if it’s their birth name (I know one of them is [name_f]Willow[/name_f] on his birth cert. but the other might just be using it). I know men named [name_f]Wren[/name_f], [name_f]Jade[/name_f], Kohana…I’ve got a whole list (because I’m a weirdo who keeps up with the names of people I know that I find interesting.)
Anyway, chill 
I don’t know any Willows. All of the Willows I 've heard of previous to this post are girls. I would prefer any of the other [name_m]Will[/name_m] names for a boy minus [name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f] and [name_f]Wilma[/name_f]. I’m currently crushing a little on [name_m]Willem[/name_m], which many people seem to think unusable.
I [name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]Wren[/name_f] on a boy. There’s nothing feminine about the name, so I never understood the “girls only” rule for it.
I [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] on a boy!
Ooo I love [name_f]Wren[/name_f] for a boy. I actually prefer it.
[name_f]Willow[/name_f] is lovely for a boy too 
Yep I agree with this. While [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is generally used more for girls, I think it could work on a little boy just fine
Although this is a nature name I do tend to lean more towards a girl with this name then a boy. In today’s time I do see more people who would possibly use this as a boys name however, I hear it and I think girl automatically.
Totally agree with this.
It is primarily known as a female name so I would safely keep this as a girls name.
