What’s your opinion on using a traditionally/commonly used ‘boy’ name for a girl? Too weird or do you like it?
I’ve heard names like Wyatt, James, Billie, Jude, Rory etc all being used for girls and wondered if this was something you loved or hated!

I really like Sydney for a girl.

Blake Livelys daughter is called James and I much prefer it for a girl than a boy!

My real name is quite ordinary and boring but it is feminine and I doubt a male anywhere would be given it. I am not ashamed of it. When I see some of the stupid (in my opinion) child names given by celebrities I just feel sorry for them and amongst them are female names for boys and vice versa.

Off the main topic but are any of you blessed with an unusual first name? Obviously not asking what it is unless you insist on sharing.

I just wonder why

Like is it that you genuinely can't think of any girls name you like better
Or are you trying to be cool and make a statement about how cool you are
Or do you think it's preferable at first paper glance people assume she's a boy
