I like seeing girls with guy names too. I doubt people would react the same way when they see a guy with a girl's name....a boy named Daisy

I'm keen on old-fashioned names, especially for girls:
Agnes, Matilda, Ethel, Miriam, Gertrude, Eunice (my grandma's name), Louise, Delilah, Enid, Mildred, Millicent, Prudence, Hazel and many others.

Same goes for boys:
Wendell, Rupert, Phinneaus, Clive, Theodore, Ezra, Ernest, Albert, Walter, Addison

Whaaaat???

Names that are often female in some parts of the world are appealing to me as boy's names. Shannon, Leslie, Tanqueray.

are you Julia Roberts?

charlottegelin said:

No, but she picked two of my favorite names! Another favorite that's ruined for me due to celebrity trickery is Esther.

Pretty much. I love old lady names. It seems every other young girl I come into contact with is either a Britney, Morgan, Taylor, etc. Boring names...kinda like Dan.

I don't like boys names on girls for exactly that reason. I dislike them out of principle, I guess.

That said, I refuse to think of Logan, Michael, and Jason as names for cute little girls, no matter what. I'm not one to hold onto gender roles just for the sake of it, and in fact I think everyone would be better off without them, but names like those above are just so butch I can't think of them as anything but boy's names. Logan to me is Wolverine of the X-Men, not some vision of pink lace.

I think names that have traditonally been boys' names and more recently co-opted for girls like Lindsay, Ashley, Shannon, etc. would be darned cute for a boy, but I'm no fan of them as girl's names.

Dan is my first name.

Logan and Michael I like for girls, but yeah Jason seems to be pushing it a little. I grew up with a boy named Ashley.....no one ever pointed out his name either. Now that you've mentioned it those names do sound like they would've originally been boy names.

Imago777 said:

It's my first name. That was why I mentioned it. Not even Daniel...just Dan.

RipHer2Shreds said:

Imagine if someone was named Dick. Not Richard, but just Dick.

Imago777 said:

I worked with a guy named Richard Dick...and he went by Rich. And he was constantly being paged on the PA system. "Rich Dick, you have a call waiting."

This will always be Logan to me:


Not exactly the most feminine lil creature, is he?
