Madison is a girls name, I know 2, both girls. I don't know any Parkers but it sounds more masculine to me.

Oneandabean · 21/10/2020 21:10

Parker- boy

Madison- girl

Kanaloa · 21/10/2020 21:12

I think Madison is a girls name and Parker could be either.

GaraMedouar · 21/10/2020 21:15

Madison - definitely girl.

Parker - boy I’d say - wasn’t that the chauffeur in Thunderbirds?

BackforGood · 21/10/2020 21:21

Madison - girl

Parker - Surname (incl thunderbird) or coat

diddlediddle · 21/10/2020 21:21

Does it matter?

IggyAce · 21/10/2020 21:24

Madison definitely a girls name.
Parker could be either but more likely for a boy.

Dinosauraddict · 21/10/2020 21:26

I know Maddisons and they have always been female. Never met a Parker but I'd assume male. Do know people with the surname Parker though.

ApolloandDaphne · 21/10/2020 21:31

I would say Madison is a girls name and Parker is a boys name.

Parker is not the name of a coat as someone upthread said, that would be a Parka.

paintmywholehousecobweb · 21/10/2020 21:33

Parker is a surname.
Madison is for girls.

Firebird83 · 21/10/2020 21:34

They’re both surnames

Tatum1234 · 21/10/2020 21:35

Madison girl
Parker boy

emilybrontescorsett · 21/10/2020 21:35

Madison - girl
Parker- either

1940s · 21/10/2020 21:39

@Oneandabean

Parker- boy

Madison- girl

Agree
ComeOnCoveen · 21/10/2020 21:40

Another vote for

Parker - boy
Madison - girl

Quizeerascal · 21/10/2020 21:42

Parker, boy and Madison, girl although I guess both could be either really

SeanCailleach · 21/10/2020 21:44

Madison is only used for girls ttbomk in South-East England.

Parker would be a new one. It's rare for me to say this, but that really does make me go mmmhh... Why would you name anyone Parker?

DramaAlpaca · 21/10/2020 21:45

Madison is a girls' name.

Parker is a surname or a very unattractive first name for a boy.

EhUp · 21/10/2020 21:45

I would assume Madison to be a girl

Parker I wouldn't know either way

Elouera · 21/10/2020 21:46

I agree that both are surnames!

I've heard Madison for a girl only
Parker sounds masculine

LittleDoritt · 21/10/2020 21:46

Both dreadful.

TildaTurnip · 21/10/2020 21:48

HarriSON, MaSON, AddiSON ... Son names I think of as male but Maddison is used more for females so not sure. It doesn’t make sense as a female name to me.

Parker-male.

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 21/10/2020 21:48

Parker, boys.
Madison, girls.

Giganticshark · 21/10/2020 21:50

I know a female Parker. It's awful. I'd imagine in the US it's more common perhaps? It's a surname to me

Giganticshark · 21/10/2020 21:52

@tildaturnip I know an Alison, which is definitely a girl's name....? 😂 Now I'm wondering if it was a boy name in the olden days
