You dont have to like it, although feel free to say either way if you wish, i was wondering whether you would first imagine a boy or a girl if you heard this name? and also if there are any nicknames/shortenings? I know you dont need one, it isnt a long name, but i do tend to shorten names and would like the option i think.

Can you tell this is DH's suggestion and I'm trying to like it enough to use Grin

I like it, and know 2 (well the parents of 2), on opposite world with no connection to each other, who are about the same age and who have the same middle name as well, bizarrelyGrin
I don't think it has Jayden/Brayden/etc connotations.
I prefer Lochlan though, in a similar vein to Logan, but has less 'chav' connotations, IMHO.

we have a Logan and call him Berry (as in Loganberry) as a nn, and Logi too. I wasn't keen on Logi at first but that's what he calls himself. He's 4.

Definitely a boy's name, and yes slightly Jayden-esque for me...

minipie · 07/06/2012 11:55

Boy

(been watching X Men recently)

birdofthenorth · 07/06/2012 11:34

It's a boy's name imho. Loved if after watching Channel 4's Any Human Heart.

I love it less after I heard someone lump it into the Jayden/ Kayden/ Brayden group of names -unfairly I thought, but I can kind of see the similarity

underthevalley · 07/06/2012 11:29

I love it (DP has already said no though) for a boy

roguepixie · 07/06/2012 00:00

Like it.

Consider it a boy's name - a la Wolverine's real name.

MagdalenaAlec · 06/06/2012 23:57

I have to warn you, "Logan" is also a brand of cheap cars...
Apart from that, it sounds more like a boy's name to me.

Badgerina · 06/06/2012 23:36

Its a boy's name to my ears. I have an ancient ancestor who pioneered through the Southern states of America, called Logan Grin

Wolverine is an EXCELLENT nn. as is Loges. I like the name Smile

Yellowballs · 06/06/2012 22:15

I have a Logan. We call him loges or logi. I like his name, there aren't many in our area.

Pekka · 06/06/2012 22:11

Boy. LoLo, Logo.

Boy! And reminds me of the character in Gilmore Girls (oooh, yes pur-lease!)

Piemistress · 06/06/2012 21:49

I know one Logan, think it's in the top ten boy's names in Scotland. I like it

SlinkyB · 06/06/2012 20:37

There's a 2yr Logan (boy) in our family, I quite like it, and he gets called 'Logey' as a nn. Think it's a grower?

Sarcalogos · 06/06/2012 20:37

I wouldn't call a child it but I like it for someone else's boy! Grin

Although I wouldn't say it was anything like Callum. As far as I know ones American and the others Scottish.

Houseworkprocrastinator · 06/06/2012 20:35

I was going to use this for my girl, thought it was lovely. Oly changed my mind after she was born. Really glad I didn't because I now know Loads of boys called it. Some shorten it to logie.

Psammead · 06/06/2012 20:34

I quite like it. Boys' name for me, definitely.

No nn spring to mind that have not been mentioned.

CherryBlossom27 · 06/06/2012 20:19

I know one Logan and he's a boy! It's not my taste, but it's different from all the traditional names and a bit more modern like Callum.

misslinnet · 06/06/2012 19:51

Boys name.

I suggested this to DH, but he said that we were not naming our son after Wolverine.

StepOutOfSpring · 06/06/2012 19:51

I'd assume it was a boys' name. Not keen personally - too much like loganberries and Rogan Josh, so too foodie!

usualsuspect · 06/06/2012 18:53

The girl Logan I know is in her 20s, I always thought it was an unusual name for a girl.

I quite like it though.

Maamekin · 06/06/2012 18:41

I would assume it was a boy.

The first association in my head is Logan Airport.

scentednappyhag · 06/06/2012 18:40

Wolverine would be a fabulous nickname! Grin

reddaisy · 06/06/2012 18:40

I consider it to be a boys name btw and I don't know any.
