I love Shiloh for a girl but am now considering it for a boy. What are your thoughts? Our other DC are Ezra & Winter (girl). Thanks ☺️

I don't think Shiloh sounds feminine at all, so if you like it for a boy, why not?

SlowlyLurking · 01/03/2024 11:02

Love it.

LadyDanburysHat · 01/03/2024 11:06

I think it's an awful name for either.

Moveoverdarlin · 01/03/2024 11:07

I also think it’s awful. I’d just assume the parents were huge Angelina Jolie fans.

Milo maybe?

I think it's awful but worse for a boy.

NotFastButFurious · 01/03/2024 11:12

Not my taste but I would have assumed a boy's name.

Onelife2024 · 01/03/2024 11:16

I haven’t heard it used for boys, only girls, but I’m sure I would get used to it on a boy.

AlohaRose · 01/03/2024 11:28

The fact that you’ve had to specify that Winter is a girl’s name in your family is enough to make me say, please don’t do this to a second one of your children.

KirstenBlest · 01/03/2024 11:39

I'd think Shiloh was a girl. James is a filler middle name.

Not keen for either sex but it sounds quite feminine to me so I'd assume girl without hearing the James part.

Milo is a good suggestion by pp.

What's wrong with gender neutral names?
I have one and never care if people think I'm a man before we meet.
We also have an Alex, Cameron, Charlie, Sam and an Ali in our extended family. None of us have had an issue with it!

OpalDog · 01/03/2024 11:44

Shy, low both so negative.
It doesn't sound good.
Winter James sounds like a candle
Just use normal classic names!

OpalDog · 01/03/2024 11:45

Winter is a girls name. Stop taking the piss with your baby's future.

KirstenBlest · 01/03/2024 12:16

@OpalDog , which part of Our other DC are Ezra & Winter (girl) did you not understand?

Lalupalina · 01/03/2024 12:54

There's nothing feminine to Shiloh imo so I would not be surprised to meet a male Shiloh.

salamithumbs · 01/03/2024 13:27

It's not that the name sounds particularly feminine but I would assume Shiloh was a girl because the only Shiloh I ever met was a little girl, plus Angelina Jolie has a female Shiloh!

Which part of a full stop did you not understand?

It's not a nice name plus I think it sounds too much like silo. Those massive things on farms for storing silage.

caramac04 · 01/03/2024 15:17

I’m not keen. I think it’s gender neutral but shyster pops into my head when I say it in there. Probably just me 😂

Unisex names tend to end up being girls names over time eg kelsie, Ashley, Evelyn etc.

Also it sounds like Shylock.
