Boys names for girls.....

[romannumerals]

Really love boy names for girls. Our faves our below, please could you let me know your thoughts on them and whether you think they work for a girl

Andie
Dylan
Drew
Stevie

I more think of them as unisex names (not boys names) but I also like girls name which aren't too feminine. My fave (but not on your list) is Spencer.

Me too @Bertyb7 Spencer is an amazing suggestion and would go for it but for a family member called Spencer! Such a shame! Thank you for that suggestion

I've got to be honest OP. I hate them. There are plenty of non frilly girls names. I bet you wouldn't give a boy a traditional girl's name. Why is that?

I do like Stevie.

Ahh @

Sorry I clicked send too soon!! It is a shame Spencer is in the family already. What about James?

Will your daughter grow up thinking you actually wanted a boy if you give her a boys name?

Honestly why give a girl a diminutive of a boy's name....?
Give her a real name fgs.
Dylan is bad enough for a boy why inflict it on a girl...

I'm with Tilly on this one.

With any of them, she'll have to put up with a lifetime of everyone assuming she's a boy when they hear her name. There are much better unisex names that work nicely for girls (Charlie, Eden, Alexis for example).

I like Drew and I do know a female Stevie and an Andie but they are a Stephanie and Andrea so it might be good to have her full name on the BC so she can choose when she is older.

I love the unisex names and my dd was very nearly called Jamie but we changed our mind at last minute.

I like Bobby and Billie!
Just adding my opinion, hope you don’t mind.

My favourites are Morgan, Rowan and Devon. I like Stevie best from your list.

you mean like shirley, beverley, hilary, which were all boys' names originally.

Alex, Sam, Chris, Charlie I see as boys names - but might suit a certain type of girl if she can pull it off if. These are what spring to mind when you say “boys names for girls”.

Andie, Drew and Stevie aren’t even proper names for boys or men, let alone a woman. Dylan is a male name, often mispronounced.
Andrea or Stephanie are fine. As is Rowan, Megan, Marian etc.

I think they are all quite dated and not at all unusual for a girl if that’s what you’re going for. I know women called all of those, the youngest is called Drew and is in her mid 20s. Andie is a really common nickname for Andrea, I work with a few and they’re all in their 40s or 50s. I’ve know baby girls born recently called Cameron, Billie, Charlie and Rowan - I personally think those names are much nicer.

I like Andie and Dylan best. Personally, I would put Andrea on the birth certificate, just to give her the option of a more formal name.

I also like Lennon. I have a name that was always mistaken as a “boy’s” name but I wouldn’t have changed it growing up.

I love Stevie! ❤️

Unisex name suggestions-

Reese
Dakota
Blake
Jamie
Mica

I like Andi from your list.

Enda is one I've heard very rarely for a girl but loads for guys

I think it is quite unfair to give a girl a name that is knowingly commonly used for boys.

I agree. In fact I'd go as far as to say it's ridiculous.

A genuine unisex name is fine, but appropriating a boys' name for a girl isn't. You wouldn't do it the other way round.

I know little girls called Stevie and Georgie and they are both adorable
