Masculine girls names

Any suggestions? Think Dylan, James, Aaron, etc for a little girl.

The most obvious are Charlie and Jamie but I'm not so keen on those.

I love American "surname for first names" especially unisex ones, already used Parker and Carter.

OP it's my DDs middle name, I loved Alex for a girl but didn't think Alex Adrian wouldn't have sounded quite right. And because I'm not very girly I thought people would probably be expecting me to give her a boys name, she actually has a very girly name!

I was at college with a Bob! (Short for Robin). Androgynous/masculine names are great on girls, more power to you!

Alex

Drew

Lindsay

Thanks Monkey neither do I, in the US it's quite common as well and pretty masculine but everytime I introduce him people say "oh she's lovely" Blush

Think Max for a girl is pretty great too.

I quite like Jesse tbh. I don't see it as a girl's name at all.

I love Elliot for girl

I really do. Though the last person who said about a girl called Elliot for a lot of "it's a girl! Name them a girls name"

Queenbean · 05/09/2016 18:45

Stevie for a girl is dreamy

Is your son called something like Kelly?

Adrian is nice for girl, I really like boyish names for girls!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 05/09/2016 18:38

Also a big yes to Stevie and Scout!

BendydickCuminsnatch · 05/09/2016 18:38

I love Ryan for a girl, like Sandra Bullock in Gravity.

Also Rory fro Gilmore Girls (Aurora) and Robyn. Avery traditionally a boy's name but V common for girls now.

Interested to know your DS' name! My DS has a girly name too.

I'm a Harry and love it!

HorridHenrietta2 · 05/09/2016 18:37

Yes for heaven's sake op give your girl a girl's name, also please give her a flowery smock, a pink bedroom and a cupboard full of dolls. Teach her to knit and bake at the first opportunity. GrinGrin

Or give her a name you love:
Billie
Stevie
Riley
Taylor
Piper

Twodogsandahooch · 05/09/2016 18:36

Scout
Elliot

Billie is a nice girls name. Dara is a popular Irish name for a boy but can also be used for a girl. Jackie? Mattie?

I was saying James and Aaron were names I liked for little girls if my next DC were to be one, trying to make a shortlist.

My DS who is already born does absolutely have a 'girls name' in the UK but if we were in the US no-one would bat an eyelid

Casey
Harley

BertrandRussell · 05/09/2016 18:27

Is it as definitely a girl's name as James or Aaron are boy's names?

I'd put money on it not being.

MrsGsnow18 · 05/09/2016 18:27

I like Blake for a girl as mentioned by someone else!
