The only ones I can think of are Cameron, Riley and Harriet. Any other suggestions?

Ryan! As in Sandra Bullock in Gravity. LOVE Ryan for a girl.

math one is my dm the other my dd! it is a lovely name and underused as far as im concerned but then of course I was always going to be biased!

I know a little Bernadette (and a few in my family who are older) and to me it is the epitome of (Irish) granny chic. I hope it will become popular.

flowery bernadette is beautiful (got two in my fam) and OP it can be shortened to bernie to make it more masculine

Sam (though not Samantha which sounds like a pudding)

mammuzzamia · 07/02/2015 19:15

Jaq (for Jacqueline)

Darcy and Morgan are girls we know with names that could work on a boy.

Years ago there was a plot on Neighbours where a baby boy and girl were born at the same time and both named Shannon...

I think of Eden as a girl's name but have actually seen a couple of boys named in in the media recently.

Harper sounds quite masculine too.

I know a little girl called kyle. It suits her.

flowerygirl · 06/02/2015 21:46

'It's a girl!!!'

'And what's her name'

'Gary'

Yeah there's a difference between masculine and male

I see you left your sense of humour elsewhere, never mind.
The OP has had lots of serious suggestions and a few posters have added some humour.

Ffs morethan there's a difference between masculine and male!

Stop being so obtuse and feel free to call your own DD's Princess flowerpot.

Has Mallory been suggested?

morethanpotatoprints · 05/02/2015 15:49

Gary, Bruce, Erol, Mark, Ian.

flowery

The OP asked for male names.

flowerygirl · 05/02/2015 09:54

A girl called Arthur? That kid will get the piss ripped out of it at school.

Does Colleen mean 'girl' mathanxiety? I just thought it sounded like Colin Grin

I know girls named Cydney and Claude, also a Regina who is known as Reggie.
Roberta (and its various NNs) is quite strong, as is Philippa.

ButterflyOfFreedom · 05/02/2015 00:45

Robyn was my first thought; I really like it.

Agree that many girls names ending with a consonant might be less girly / frilly, ie.
Kirsten
Ruth
Carolyn
Yasmin
Bethan
Imogen
Juliette
Simone
Justine

Unisex names:
Ellis
Sam
Charlie
Danni(elle)
Frankie
Stevie
Bobbi
Billie
Drew
Darryl
