What are some unisex names that you think should just stick to one gender?

I think some parents have gone too far with giving their children names of the opposite gender because they think that it's cute.





I think some names that should stick to boys are:


Dylan


Devin


Blake


Riley


Charlie


Bobby


Dakota





And names that should stick with girls are:


Mackenzie


Kim





There are more... but what are your opinions?

What are some unisex names that you think should just stick to one gender?
I don't think any of these are unisex and are all horrid on girls:





Aubrey


Madison "Son of Maude"


Addison "Son of Adam"


Emerson "Son of Emery"


Jameson "Son of James"


Riley


Bailey


Taylor (Tailors were always male)


Dylan


Devin


Cameron


Blake


Kelly


Hayden


Peyton


Reagan


Teagan (Anglicized form of the Gaelic boy's name Tadghan)


Whitney


Harper


Harlow


Marley


Ainsley


Frances / Francis


Kendall


Elliot


Emery


Avery


Aaron


Skyler / Schuyler / Sky


Ashton


Cody


Jesse


Hunter


Tyler


Carson


Meredith


Kennedy


Cade / Cadence


Jude


Shannon


Logan


Tristan


Micah


Ezra


Delaney


Lane


Lux


August


Greer


Jasper


Kai


Noah


Reese / Reece / Rhys


Shane


Ray


Shay / Shae








All Mac names. Mac means Son of.
Reply:I totally agree with you. Even for names that started out as boys names but have become entirely girls names, I think they should remain girls names now.





Stick to the boys;


Dylan


James


Blake/Blaise


Skyler/Schuyler


Elliott


Austin


Ashton


Cody/Coby


Grayson


Charlie [Unless it's a nickname]


Hunter


Tyler





Stick to the girls;


Rory


Aubrey


Brynn/Wynne


Carol


Evelyn


Cassidy


Kenzie


Lindsey


Lux


Meredith


Vivienne


Ariel


Ashley



Reply:Yes, I agree! Can you imagine having a name that could be either and someone going "is that a boy or a girl"? Some are OK, but these ones should stick with their original gender.


These are the ones which I think should remain only in that category (boy/girl)





Girl





Mackenzie


Taylor


Jodie


Kim


Ashley


Courtney


Peyton





Boy





Blake


Charlie


Riley


Bailey


Kyle


Cameron (spelt this way, Camryn's OK for a girl)


Francis


Jamie


Brett






Reply:i agree, though I like Dakota and Riley for girls. and Blake like Blake lively should really be a boy, i'd agree with you on that one. I've never met a girl named Charlie, thats my dads name. kim i thought was always a girls name. i shudder at a boy being named kim... wierd haha





my name is strict girl at least i think (: (shayna)





some more





my sister kelly, a boy waiter was named kelly which was wierd


kyle (there is a ***** in my school named kyle) things like aaron, for girls aryn, or jaden, i think is more of a boys name but my adopted cousin has it (: i can't really think of any more, the nickname Alex though I think is suitable
Reply:I think Dylan and Ryan should stick as guy names, though I really don't care if they are girl names.... I mean, I'm not one that's bugged by unisex names... only slightly when boys have names like Logan and Kelly and Shannon... that's just weird. And I find it kind of funny when people think McKenna and Aisling are boys' names. But, I do think that some people need to get over the unisex obsession, that's old hat...





Opinions!
Reply:I know these aren't very common, but I dont think any boys should be named Leslie, Carol, Sue, and I don't like Robin as a boys' name.





I don't like Bobbie/Bobby, Billy/Billie, or Charlie as a girl name.
Reply:Originally boys names that should now stay with girls: Evelyn, Kimberly, Hilary, Shannon, Marion, Avril, Beverly, Tracy
Reply:Girls:


Taylor


Ashley


Avery


Mackenzie


Bailey


Patty(I know a boy named Paddy lol)





Dylan


Spencer


Blake


Bobby


Joe


Charlie


Parker


Alex


Bryce



Reply:I like Devin, Riley, Charlie, and Dylan as girls names better


and i think


no Leslie for boys.
Reply:Names that sound wrong on girls to me:





Madison


Addison


Riley


Blake


Dylan


Ashton


Peyton


James


Aubrey
Reply:Most def, Taelor.


Most people spell it "Taylor", but my parents wanted be different.


%26amp; im completely fine with that.
Reply:I agree with for boys on:


Blake


Charlie


Bobby





I agree with all of your girl ones!





I also think


Courtney should stay a girls name



Reply:I agree with all the names you said and want to add a few.





Noah


Micah


James


all three of these I have been told are girls names



Reply:Hayden, Harper, Elliott, Evan for boys.
Reply:Ashley, Courtney, Lindsay and Dana on boys.
Reply:Leslie. This name should just be a woman's name not unisex.
Reply:I think Whitney should stay a girl name.



Reply:Actually i think Tyler is a horrid name anyways...along w/Taylor, Bailey and Reily.





personally i cannot stand to see Evan, Blake and Emmerson on girls.





equally i hate seeing Hayden and Kyle on girls. 2 of my 3 son's are named Kyle and Hayden. now all i need to complete my disgust is for Brandon to become a unisex name.





Hayden is a boys name i dont care how big a fan you are of the show Heros. My husband's great grandfather was named Hayden. he was a 6 ft WWII vet and i'd love to hear what he has to say about this Hayden for a girl craze.





as for Kyle..uck! it ticks my son off. he's 12 like he needs that right?


that's what Kylie or Kyla is for!





as for Kim...that actually is a masculine name if you're Asian.


Kim is a boys name over there..but here in the west, Kim-Kimberly is a girls name.





i honestly think Tristen is is a boys name...my middle name is Kristen so i just dont like the sound of Tristen on a girl.





Travis is a hideous name at any rate, so is Mackenzie. cannot stand the "mack" craze.








but there are some boys names that *I* consider unisex. just my opinion, but then opinion is all it really is when it comes to baby names.





i like Avery and Charlee for a girl. sorry i know Charlie is on your "no to girls" list, but hey it's what i like.
