Is this the name of a boy or a girl?

You hear someone is going to give their baby the name Lyric.

Is your instant reaction that it’s a boys name or a girls name?

Famous American child murder victim.

Girl

Girl

Girl. Like Lyric Lewis the actor.

Boy
It's a bloody awful/ ridiculous name

It could go either way given that it is not generally regarded as a forename.

No idea.

Girl because as I read it I thought of Lydia and Lyra.

Not a ‘name’ to foist on anyone though, in my view.

Or even 'Lycra'! There's a thought.

jesstan1 indeed !!

Lyric is a beautiful name. I'm too sober and sensible to use it. It would make a great YA fiction character name .

I instantly think girls name, this is because:

A. I associate it with famous song writer Lyrica Anderson.
B. It reminds me of other girl names: Liris, Harper.
C. The ly letter combo seems to feature more heavily in girl names such as Lynn, Lynette, Lydia, Alyssa, Alya, Lily, Polly, Lyla, Evelyn, Marilyn, Kaitlyn etc.

To me it's a bit like asking "would you think the name 'Chair' is a boy or a girl". I wouldn't automatically think either.

Neither. I’d assume the child has been named by the type of parent that also decides to raise the child gender free, and never reveal the sex.
