For a girl? What do you think?

I was going to say it's OK for a boy, but on a girl it's a definite no, awful.

I quite like Quinn. Although I do think Glee. Much better than Marshall though (I’m another who thought Paw Patrol here!)

How about either Frances, Lesley or Tara? All more frequently used for girls but (with slight spelling variations) unisex.

Or I know a baby Aurora who is known as Rory - her parents liked the boy’s name for a girl thing but recognised their daughter may really hate that when older so thought that gave her best of both worlds - cute boyish nickname but super girly full name of she prefer.

It’s terrible.

Tayte?

It's a job title.

I quite like:
Harley
Drew
Cameron
Morgan

Although a lot of boy's names for girls sound American to me.

Glitterbiscuits · 21/07/2020 20:29

But how do you feel about boys names for girls? It should work both ways but it never does.

BigusBumus · 21/07/2020 20:29

Not Quinn. Sounds like Quim and would set up a lifetime of teasing/bullying.

thestarvingcaterpillar · 21/07/2020 20:13

How about Haydyn?

chunkyrun · 21/07/2020 20:07

Eminem?

Ray
Alex
Marley

I like Quinn a lot. Robyn is nice too, but I definitely know more girls than boys with the name.

"Mathers" was my first thought

utterlynutty · 21/07/2020 19:56

If you're keen on boys names for a girl how about Robyn.

SerenadeOfTheSchoolRun · 21/07/2020 19:50

Reminds me of Edina’s ex husband in Absolutely Fabulous. Which is not a good association.

Aerielview · 21/07/2020 19:38

First thought - Paw Patrol

Elouera · 21/07/2020 19:38

This was asked last week! But for a boy. I just think of Eminem, the rapper. His real name is Marshall Mathers apparently. Sounds masculine and I'd never consider it for a girl.

Reminds me of a fire marshall or security marshall. Its not a girls name!

cuntryclub · 21/07/2020 19:37

I like boys names for girls, any more ideas?

Don't do it.

Ferrylass · 21/07/2020 19:35

How about Quinn? I'd not heard of it for a girl but there's a wee one at my daughters nursery and I think it's so pretty!

Honestly didn't know about Paw Patrol. Very glad I asked. I like boys names for girls, any more ideas?

For a girl? You are just winding us up OP.

If you liked Paw Patrol how about Sky?

cuntryclub · 21/07/2020 19:23

For a girl?

I know a couple of boys called Marshall.

ChikiTIKI · 21/07/2020 19:19

Paw patrol 🤔

Marsha is better 👍🏻

Habbyhadno · 21/07/2020 19:19

We're on a roll, Paw Patrol is the first thing that popped into my head
