My children are Dolores Sydney Annemarie (family name) 11, Jesobel (yes I know Jezabel, thats why I changed the spelling, and it’s slightly softer sounding) Morgan Adora 9 1/2, identical twin boys Tristan Beau Iliya + Faiden Kai Indigo 7 1/2, Isolde Briar Juliette 5, and another set of twins Aurora Blaze Ophelia + Sunney Leo Dmitri, 2. A handful I tell you!

I like that very old names are coming back into fashion – not quite sure about Maud though! As far as the new unisex names go I like Harper/Harlow/Everlyn for a girl but not Tyler/Mason/Owen/Peyton/Sac/sha. My husband is called Sacha so i obviously cannot think it to be female. Mason is too far, it just reminds me of builders and masonary, not very girly. It’s a shame names like Valentine and Romeo are rare these days, although imagine such children being in a class full of female Reeces and Rileys – it must be very unsettling to grow up around androdyny from such a young age. I’m not sure what I think about the whole thing.

And the girl named James. James is most definetly a boy’s name. I have female friends with male names, and they despise them. They have been made fun of for their names constantly. As people have been saying on these comments, if you’re going to give your girl a boy’s name, at least make it so they can have a feminine nickname or a feminine middle name so they have options.
But there ARE some male names that sound to me like feminine names. Avery and Emery sound very girly to me, I wouldn’t name my son Avery. And I have a female cousin named Ellery, which was originally a boy’s name but seems feminine to me.
There are so many gorgeous, unique, feminine names out there. You can pick a unique name for your child without making their name an embarrassment. My name is almost always used on a girl, but its very common and has been for a long time. I’ve always wished for a more unique name, but I’m glad that I wasn’t named something like James, Ryan, Riley, Payton/Peyton, Elliot, Mason, or Spencer, all of which are awful on girls.
