Just asking :)

Why are so many people against unisex names?
It's because so many people are for unisex names.
Reply:I personally don't like unisex names for girls, simply because they sound unprofessional and "cutesy". Evan is adorable for a six year old, but a girl is a woman for longer. Does Evan sound like a serious name? There are tons of strong names for women, and tacking a boys' name onto a woman just doesn't seem right.





It's irritating when people choose boys' names for girls simply because they want their daughter to be unique. There are girls' names out there that are unique and feminine; people don't have to name their daughters Tyler.
Reply:i think that some unisex names such as cameron are nice but so confusing. and also names such as jesse are confusing just for the fact that you're never sure if the person is male or female. so it may be awkward in possible situations when a person is expecting to meet a girl and it ends up being this six foot tall testosterone-pumped guy. i think that also having a unisex name may create problems such as teasing among young children.
Reply:I do not mind unisex names





I do have a rule


If a name is in one sex top 100, I would not use it for the other sex





I think naming a boy Lesley or Ashley is mean, even if it's a unisex name. I think some unisex names are use for one sex, and using them for the other is mean.





I think taking a boys name like Logan, and naming a girl that is bad.





I think Avery, Quinn, Cameron, Jordan, Morgan are cute names, could be for either sex
Reply:Because most of them aren't unisex, but ignorant parents putting masculine boy names on their little girls. Take Madison, Addison, and Emerson. All very masculine, not only in sound but meaning. "SON of Maude", "SON of Adam", and "SON of Emery". And there's Ryan, meaning "Little KING".





Parents thinks it's so cute to put these horridly masculine names on their little girls. It's almost as if they want a little boy instead.
Reply:Because...they're ambiguous, expecially when they're babies, and you can't always tell whether they're a boy or a girl, and you ask so what's the baby's name in hopes of saying how he or she is so cute...You get oh my baby's name is Avery..answer back how cute the little fella is and get corrected that it's a girl.....short story long, it's ambiguous.
Reply:I'm not! I don't find that a lot of people are!





One of the names that my husband and I have been considering for a girl is Sawyer. So many people don't like it because they think that it is for a boy, but I have only met girls with the name Sawyer and I adore it!
Reply:I don't like them because I have a unisex name. Brynna isn't my real name. I hated my name when I was little. I was a little girl and I wanted a girls name not a boys.





And it is bad for little boys who have to share their name with girls.
Reply:maybe they think the child will end up confused or afraid people will associate the name with the opposite sex.


take my name for example: Tyler. that's a unisex name, but most people think its just masculine, so a girl named Tyler may get picked on growing up
Reply:It's annoying to me, because when it's a unisex name, I can't just look at it and know if it's a boy or a girl.
Reply:Really I didn't know that. Hmm thats weird I mean really what is in a name it doesn't make a person who they are.
Reply:lets just say 4th grade kid named Casey. every one thought kid was a boy until she wore a two piece to swimming lessons.
Reply:I'm not, one of my favourite names for a girl is Blake!
Reply:Well it may be embarrassing.
Reply:quite simply, they're confusing
Reply:I met someone name Svennifer and it was just weird.
Reply:Dunno. I think they're cute.
Reply:ummm i'm not,
Reply:Who are these people you speak of?
Reply:I seen a little girl named Ryan or ryanne. Ithought ir was really cute. I don't think it matters. I also no a man named joddie. so i guess it's ok.
