Isn't Addison a boy's name? It means Son of Adam or something like that?

Iseeall · 10/03/2013 16:25

Elouise.

As Addison is definitely modern, I'd go for something traditional
Addison Elizabeth
Addison Mary
Addison Jane
or even better a family name if you have one.

I like Addison Mary and Addison Lucy a lot. Have just read another post with everyone saying Addison is a boys name and they hate it. I may rethink as no gender ambiguity was one of my rules.

Here was me thinking Addison was a boys name...

FairyArmadillo · 10/03/2013 17:46

Know a girl Addison born last year. It's a unisex name like Robin/Robyn. Don't know if she has a middle name.

DonderandBlitzen · 10/03/2013 17:49

There is a disease called Addison's Disease, but if that isn't an issue for you, Addison Lara could work.

PhyllisDoris · 10/03/2013 17:50

I assumed it was a boys' name too, or a surname. Seems a weird name for a little girl Blush

I know Addison as a girls name and it was on my list for dd but dp didn't like it.

Addison rose?

RobinSparkles · 10/03/2013 18:22

FlowerBird, I don't hate it, I just wasn't sure :).
I did have a google of the name after I posted and it is a name that is given to girls but according to the the Meaning of names thingy it isn't a legitimate unisex name because of the masculine meaning.

I've only ever heard it as a boy's name.

The name Robin means Bright Fame so it's not quite the same as the meaning isn't masculine.

Any name with Son on the end is masculine as it usually means "Son of..."

Sounds like Alison said with a cold.

cuillereasoupe · 11/03/2013 15:20

Sorry, it sounds very masculine (Joseph Addison) and very diseasy to me too.

HolidayArmadillo · 11/03/2013 15:24

Well as a huge Greys Anatomy/Private Practice fan I vote Addison Montgomery Grin

SJJones · 11/03/2013 16:16

What about Madison?? It seems a little softer.

badtime · 11/03/2013 16:35

How about Adeline?

LulaPalooza · 11/03/2013 16:52

Agree with Rhubarb re Lee... anyone who lives or works in London will do the same...

WormCanner · 11/03/2013 18:19

Disease was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw "Addison".

ChristineDaae · 25/03/2013 22:21

I have a 2yo Addison, she had a long, classic family name as her middle name.

Snazzynewyear · 25/03/2013 22:27

I only know it as a boy's name. Jenny Colgan wrote a novel 'Talking to Addison' years ago in which Addison was the good-looking male housemate.
