Feelings on now feminine names for boys?

[user1489577919]

Previous post... Selwyn didn't seem too popular.

Now I'm thinking about names that lean a bit more feminine these days:

Vivian

Hilary

Kelly

Thoughts? Also any other suggestions of feminine names for boys?

Jess maybe it's the same one!

Laurie? (ex tried to convince me Lauren was a boys name. He had less than innocent reasons for trying to do so!) But I knew a lovely lad called Laurie.

shout (whispers) He had a diner....

I have a -

Vivian
Kim
As male friends...

I like Vivian .

Jess I only knew him in primary school... he didn't have one then...

Town beginning with C?

Hayden is an Americanising of Haydn.
Lyn for a male is spelt Lin.

I never knew his surname but he was in a town beginning with S in the West country. Boo! I so wanted it to be the same guy/Skye!

So did I! Never mind. Hopefully we've inspired the OP and there will be a third male Skye wandering the streets

Totally irrelevant but my friend told me to listen to 'Shout Out to my ex' - wicked song.

Ha, i know. I have it in my head about 23 hours a day now it's my username though!

Lynn Davies (who both the boys I knew were named after) certainly doesn't spell it Lin.

Yes, true Lynn is. Two Ls.
A bit like Haydn. Both Welsh. :)

I know a male Madison. For a while he was dating a female Madison. It was odd.

I'd generally go for a boys name for a boy.

It's just easier for the child.

is a link to David Mitchell explaining why it's best not to give your child a super yooneek name. Just in case you're interested.

I have a Finish friend named Kari and I remember I asked him where his name comes from (because I never heard it used for a male). He said is the name of the Scandinavian god of wind. I am so used to it now :)

I know or knew men called Hilary, Kerry, Kelly, Kylie, Ashley, Vivian, Dorian and Jody.

I quite like Kerry and Jody but I'm not keen on unisex names for either sex tbh.

I like Kelly for a boy

What about Lyndon.

Alison can be used for a man too.

DH has one of the names on this thread and hates it. He was going to change it at one point. To Simon.

Why give a boy a girls name? He will only get bullied.

Some suggestions of soft/feminine names for boys:

Alexis
Ashley
Blake
Cary
Cory
Gabriel
Gale
Jessie
Marley
Quinn
Riley
River
Rory
Sage

I really like Vivian, but I'm also one of those who wanted to call a DD James, so probably I'm not a reliable source.

You'll get a lot of criticism on here for mixing things up, but you should go with what you love.

all the chat of bullies makes me bullies will find a reason to bully no matter what, so maybe we should focus our energies on teaching bullies to be responsible for their actions

What about Michel? (Not going along with the Gilmore Girls theme here at all...)

Jem? (Could be short for Jeremiah/Jeremy, though could be shortened to Jemmy too)

Angel is popular in Spain isn't it?
