Will this work?

Would Lockie as a girls name be too unusual? We are really struggling with girls name and this is the only one I love but according to some research I've done it hasn't been used as a girls name since 1950!

My son has an unusual but old fashioned name and I want something along those same lines but don't want to set up my potential girl for a life of name misery!

It sounds like a nickname to me. The Lockie i know is called that by friends because his surname is Lock

I don’t think so

Lachlan/Lochlan is a boy’s name and I would assume Lockie was short for that and a boy

I quite like it but it feels like it needs a full name too and I'm not sure what that would be

Still a boys name but looks a bit more feminine, Laughlin with the nn Lockie?

But then I know female Moray, Logan, Nairne, Cameron and Brodie and I'm sure some more, I think Scottish surnames are used for girls sometimes as well as boys.

I don't personally like it at all, but it's not awful. I'm not seeing any teasing potential. I wish I could think of something it could be short for, but I'm drawing a complete blank.

Can you give some ideas of other names you like and we'll try to think of something? Lockie is awful-sorry.

@BertrandRussell there is literally no other names that I like for a girl, that's why we are struggling so much. Maybe I am just destined for boys 🤷🏻‍♀️

There has to be. What about names you tolerate to start with? What boy's names do you like? And where in earth did Lockie come from?

Ok so boys name we are going to use either Rex or Reginald (leaning more towards Rex). I do also like Sidney for a girl, I think we can sense a theme here!
Was considering Lockie for a boy and then found it has also been used for women in the past!

Sidney is much nicer than Lockie. Lockie is... not great.

Love syndey. Wanted sindey for my ds.

I meant Sidney

Do think about what you're saying to a girl by giving her a boy's name. Honestly- try and find a girl's name you can at least tolerate rather than a boy's.

My sister is Lucy but has always been known as Lucky, I really like it, even though it is a dog’s name!

Seriously, out of all the millions of girl’s names available, the only one you can “literally” tolerate is Lockie?
What attracts you to it?
If I heard someone refer to Lockie, I’d think they were talking about a horse.

Sydney is a girls name. Go for that.

Similar to your boys choices:

Regina
Alexa
Beatrix (Bex)

Unisex:
Jaime
Alex
Sydney
D'arcy
Bailey
Regan

I really love the name it’s unusual but pretty

Sydney for a girl is fine. Lockie is too nn. Locket might be slightly better.

Locket??

In instantly thought Lochia - sorry.

Little Lucy Locket...

Same as a pp, the Lockie I know is called it because he has the surname Lock.

I really don't think it's a nice name for a girl, or a boy.

I can't get passed thinking of that guy from Towie

I know someone with a cat called Loki which is quite sweet.
