Unsure of spelling

Hi all

Had a gender scan this morning and found out we're expecting a girl.

My BF really likes the name Harry for a girl, but I'm unsure of the best spelling Harri or Harrie?

Any thoughts please? We're not keen on Harriet.

Thanks

Funny how you always get one poster coming on the “I want to use a boys’ name for a girl” threads saying they know a kid with that name and they are “really cool”.

Hmm

That's because Tracy is a male name. How old is he?

40 odd. Obviously Tracy is a male name, as is Vivien, but they are hardly masculine sounding. Naoise is another pretty common one here and Keelan pretty but used by boys.

What on earth makes a name "masculine sounding"?

K is masculine sounding imo.
I still think it's fine for a girl

Angharad with Harry as a nickname?

What on earth makes a name "masculine sounding"

I guess harder sounds makes some names sound more masculine to my ears and softer sounds more feminine - since the question was asked.

But to be honest I really couldn’t care less if the OP uses Harrie or not (although I like the name) so I am going to leave this name thread as it has gotten bizarrely interrogatory for a baby name thread.

“K is masculine sounding imo.”

What as in Katie, Kiera, Katherine......?

I deliberately chose Rose as my putative boy’s name because of Ross and Russell and Rohan...........
