You dont have to like it, although feel free to say either way if you wish, i was wondering whether you would first imagine a boy or a girl if you heard this name? and also if there are any nicknames/shortenings? I know you dont need one, it isnt a long name, but i do tend to shorten names and would like the option i think.

Can you tell this is DH's suggestion and I'm trying to like it enough to use Grin

The know two Logans ,One boy and one girl

Not much help sorry Grin

usualsuspect · 06/06/2012 18:14

I know* dunno where the the came from

Inthesleeplessnightgarden · 06/06/2012 18:15

It sounds like a boy's name to me.

scarlettsmummy2 · 06/06/2012 18:16

I presumed it was a boys name. Don't particularly like it, but don't actively dislike it either.

Ambrosius · 06/06/2012 18:17

A boy, I like it :) not sure about shortening it though, Loges?

MinnieBar · 06/06/2012 18:18

Deffo boy.

As in? Logan's Run Grin

Whatevertheweather · 06/06/2012 18:19

Boy. I don't like it at all. The couple I know with a son called Logan call him Lo-Lo and Logi bear. Makes my teeth itch.

BabyDubsEverywhere · 06/06/2012 18:21

I always thought it was a boys name, but my Dsis said its being taken over for girls now, not sure on her source though, take a break or something no doubt Grin

We are expecting a boy. DH would be doing cartwheels if i agreed to this name bless him. I like it just doesnt 'do' much for me. And Lo, Logie, are a bit pants. Perhaps i could call him Wolverine when no ones around Grin

I don't know any, but would assume one was a boy.

FWIW DD's name didn't do much for me when DH and I first thought of it, but now it does, because it is her.

littletomato · 06/06/2012 18:33

I like it for a boy.

LST · 06/06/2012 18:34

I know 3 baby boy Logan's.

jaffacakehips · 06/06/2012 18:35

I like it. It reminds me of Any Human Heart.

reddaisy · 06/06/2012 18:40

I consider it to be a boys name btw and I don't know any.

scentednappyhag · 06/06/2012 18:40

Wolverine would be a fabulous nickname! Grin

Maamekin · 06/06/2012 18:41

I would assume it was a boy.

The first association in my head is Logan Airport.

usualsuspect · 06/06/2012 18:53

The girl Logan I know is in her 20s, I always thought it was an unusual name for a girl.

I quite like it though.

StepOutOfSpring · 06/06/2012 19:51

I'd assume it was a boys' name. Not keen personally - too much like loganberries and Rogan Josh, so too foodie!

misslinnet · 06/06/2012 19:51

Boys name.

I suggested this to DH, but he said that we were not naming our son after Wolverine.

CherryBlossom27 · 06/06/2012 20:19

I know one Logan and he's a boy! It's not my taste, but it's different from all the traditional names and a bit more modern like Callum.

Psammead · 06/06/2012 20:34

I quite like it. Boys' name for me, definitely.

No nn spring to mind that have not been mentioned.

Houseworkprocrastinator · 06/06/2012 20:35

I was going to use this for my girl, thought it was lovely. Oly changed my mind after she was born. Really glad I didn't because I now know Loads of boys called it. Some shorten it to logie.

Sarcalogos · 06/06/2012 20:37

I wouldn't call a child it but I like it for someone else's boy! Grin

Although I wouldn't say it was anything like Callum. As far as I know ones American and the others Scottish.

SlinkyB · 06/06/2012 20:37

There's a 2yr Logan (boy) in our family, I quite like it, and he gets called 'Logey' as a nn. Think it's a grower?
