i really like names that are quite masculine and are either unisex or seen as more male

for example the names for girls that i like are james, andi, frances, bobbie, Robyn, Jaime, charley and billie.

What are you opinions on using unisex/more masculine names for a girl

Oh you asked for an opinion too.

I don't have one, I grew with lots of girls with unisex names, it's wasn't trail blazing or anything just as normal to have girls with names that boys had too.

When I was pregnant with my 2nd, we didn't know the sex. We settled on Camden for a boy but never settled on a girl's name. I truly believed we were having another boy so I didn't worry. On the way to the hospital, I said to my husband that if it's a girl, we can name her Camdyn like my middle name which is Robyn. He loved it but we laughed because we were SO SURE we were having a boy. Anyway, Camdyn Grace was born an hour later. She's 17 now and she gets compliments on her name ALL the time.

I was actually talking with my best friend about this the other day. We both like more masculine sounding girls names and both have more traditionally male names.

The only problems we have ever encountered is that in work or situations we're someone sees your name without knowing who you are it's assumed you're a man. It doesn't bother us.

My friend called her DD toni but I she told me she regretted such a masculine name
