How do you feel about unisex / androgynous baby names?
When I was having my children, I gave them names that were not too common but not too strange, either. Some of the name you have listed above are actually quite nice. However, I do believe Yuri is a Russian boy's name, not an androgynous name.

Anyway - well I think they're fine. they're just names. I mean, whatever.
Reply:i like them.
Reply:I think they're cool
Reply:My daughters name is Madison Avery, I couldn't decide between Addison and Madison.........in the end I decided to give her the more feminine name.
Reply:I would go to www.behindthename.com to see which of the names are really for both male and female and go from there. But the names there I don't like. You could go searching for the 100 most popular names for this year somewhere on the web too.
Reply:My daughter's name is Taylor...and I love it.
Reply:My daughter's name is Sydney, named after her dad, which is an unusual name for a boy. I wouldn't name a boy a femine name though, like the boy named Sue. Luckily, my husband goes by Syd, which sounds manly.
Reply:I've always liked names that change between the two though I like to change the spelling up a bit sometimes.

Reply:I like all those names you have listed above. Especially Avery.
Reply:i think they are very unique, like the name charlie for both a boy and a girl
Reply:They can be nice, but personally, I probably wouldn't give my kid any of those names. Lately it seems to be a little too overdone. Taylor and Hunter and Madison and Avery are becoming the Jennifer and Jessica and Jason and Matthew of this generation.





No offense to anyone. I like the names, they're just becoming way too common. I prefer names that have personal meaning to the parents.
Reply:I don't mind them but sometimes it gets confusing. My husband's name is Tracy and I get called that all the time!
Reply:Most "androgynous" names started out as boys' names and gravitated to girls'. We were watching an old show at my dad's yesterday, and the little boy was named Jody. I don't think anyone's named a boy Jody in probably 40 years, because when I was growing up in the 70s, it was already considered a girls' name. Kelly is another one. In 1974-75, we had a boy Kelly and a girl Kelly in our kindergarten class. I misread a seating chart the other day when I was substitute teaching at a high school and called a boy Kelly. Mind you, there was a boy named Tracy sitting behind him. But boy not named Kelly, who sat in front of girl named Kelly who was absent, really copped an attitude with me.





It's a trend thing. I love the name Stacy for a boy, but he'd probably get the s*** beat out of him on a daily basis, since Stacy is no longer really considered a boy name. Ryan, Devin, Avery, Jordan, are all becoming more girlish than boyish.

Alex


Gerry


Jamie


Bertie





well, anyway...they seem all right...sometimes its difficult for other people to know if they are male or female based on the name alone.


depending on the child, there may be identity issues related to it.
Reply:They are ALL great names. I like the name Avery for a girl though. I was going to name my little girl that (decided to change her name to Brooklyn)....and I babysat a little boy named Avery and felt like it was more feminine! They are all great names though!
Reply:I like those types of names





Alex, Jordan
Reply:It can be confusing I heard of this couple both were named Robby.


He was Robby she was Robbi and their son is Robbie.


On the whole I like them.
Reply:i love unisex names!


my favorites are:


Dylan, Devan, Ryan,Carson, Jordan, Avery, Taylor


really the first four, but along those lines.


i also like the names that you picked out.
Reply:I think they can be really cool - but only if it turns out to be a girl. I've always loved the name Harper Lee (as in the author of To Kill a Mockingbird), or just Lee for a girl.





Out of all of those I only like Avery.
Reply:I'm fine with them. There is nothing bad about names that a boy or girl can have. I'd just think about your kid before you name a boy Taylor. I know six Taylors. 5 of them are girls. The boy always get made fun of for having a 'girl's name'. Other than that they are fine.
Reply:I think they are special. some are nice some are not it depends which one. i like Avery.





heres a great name site: http://www.babyhold.com
Reply:I also like Aiden very much, especially for a girl. I also had a friend name her little girl after her father, her name was Jaysin, pronounced just like Jason, but the spelling would give it away as a girl. I thought it was a great idea.
