Okay, confession time: I’ve been on a secret boy-name-on-a-girl kick lately. There’s just something so effortlessly charming and cool about a girl named [name_m]Atticus[/name_m], [name_m]Royce[/name_m], or [name_m]Murphy[/name_m] [name_f][/name_f]— that unexpected modern edge mixed with vintage charm. And let’s be real, the right boy name on a girl can feel like it was always meant to be; both bold and delightfully soft, old-fashioned, like the literary heroine we all have wanted (or continue to want!) to be. I’m no stranger to girl-name-on-a-boy either, but I’ve been especially falling for the opposite lately.
So, what are your favorite boy names for girls? Are you into something classic, like [name_m]Charlie[/name_m] and [name_m]Sam[/name_m], or do you lean towards something a bit more offbeat, like [name_m]Jude[/name_m] and [name_m]Frankie[/name_m], or perhaps even ones that are rarely used, like [name_m]Darwin[/name_m] and [name_m]Phineas[/name_m]?
[name_f][/name_f]Tell me all your favorites [name_f][/name_f]— the wild ones, the quirky ones, the charmingly unexpected ones. And bonus points if you want to share any combos or sister sets you swoon over!
