Girls with predominantly boys names - anyone?

[dizzydixies]

has anyone given their dd a name more commonly used for a boy?

any regrets? problems? any opinions (very stupid question on MN!!!)

my friends dd is called Alan

My friends DD is called Mike.

Dylan is welsh meaning son of the sea
Dillon is Irish meaning trust

my dd2 is Alexandra known as Lexie

I know a Robyn, a Charlie and a Stevie.

Stevie is my favourite girls name ever.

I wasn't allowed to use it for dd

my niece is called Dave

I personally like proper girl's names for girls. I go in for girly girl names

yy

embrace femininity man

lol enid - I am noticing

my ds middle name in robin and ive been told off for giving him a girls name!

I have a unisex name,it has been mentioned on this thread.I do like it but get tired of people saying "Oh I thought that was a boys name??".

wrinklytum sorry to pester you BUT would you have preferred it to have been a mn?

LOL Alan

James, Andy and Robin are all becoming popular girls names these days - esp in the US.

Sacha is usually used for girls in this country but is actually a Russian boys name short for Alexander.

Dizzy I'm sorry you've lost me!!!

I LOVE my name,I think it is pretty and actually more feminine than masculine,but it gets very wearing as it is joked about in the context of a famous guy having the name.I have met other people with my name - 2 boys and 1 girl

i know someone with daughters called
georgie,alex,charlie and frankie...another true story!

wrinkly sorry, will try to explain better

we already have two dd's
Isabella known as Ella and
Alexandra known as Lexie

dh has now announced he likes Dylan for a girl, which was what I really pushed for when we had dd2 but am wondering can I use it after two girly names - esp as people are already annoying me by constantly asking if we were trying for a boy iyswim?

a compromise would be to give her a more 'girly' first name and Dylan as her second name but use it everyday instead of a shortened version of a fn

god I overthink things

beansontoast my dad always says they should've called me Georgina so they could shorten it to Georgie as I never suited my obber girly double barralled poncy name that my mother gave me

I know 2 girls called Robyn, but I also went to school with a boy called Tracy.

i have a Robin - i loved the Chalet Girls stories and named her for the Robin in them! if people don't see her (ie when i phone for doctor's appointment) its automatically assumed that she is a boy...but she is obviously a girl face to face! i've had some negative comments from old grannies, but who cares. Her small sister has just started calling her Bobby, i didn't really like it until i remembered the Railway Children. but really if you like it...who cares?

I'm not keen on ambiguous names.

I called a patient in once called Stacey and was NOT expecting a bloke to walk in!

I know a Toni (not short for anything, just Toni) which she hates, and also a Sidney who is female.

I think I'm just a bit old fashioned, I like boys to have boyish names and girls to have girly names. No confusion then!

Dizzy, if you like it use it

I have to second what redrobin has just said about stuff like letters/appointments.I have often had mail addressed to Mr Wrinklytum as opposed to Miss Wrinklytum

I think Dylan for a girl is lovely.

I know a Thomasina (she's known as Totty!) and a Billie. Also Stella McCartney has a daughter called Bailey which is ambiguous but lovely imo.

you know some weirdy people, Enid.
