Back in the day - say 50 or 100 years ago, names like
Ashley and Marion were boys' names. People started giving them to girls and today we can't imagine a man by these names.
Even Anne used to be perfectly acceptable for males!

At the present time, the same has happened with Madison, Addison, and I'm sure you can think of some more. On a BOY? You can't really do that anymore can you?

Recently I have picked up on another board that the following names have been used on girls, most of them in several cases.
I really dislike this trend. What names will be left for the boys? And the other way around - a boy with a girlish name - is not done.

OK - done with the rant...
WDYT?

Apparently, these are now girls’ names:

Miles

Gavin

Logan

Teddy

Kingston

Colin

Russell

Dalton

Reid

Fallon

Michael

Kennedy

Aiden

Jude

Keaton

Marlow

Mason

Jules (as full name)

Women with men's names do better in life, study after study shows this. Our GG being a perfect example.

I think parents have much more to do with how a child turns out then the name itself. A name is a reflection of the parents though and I think its not so much that Bryce is a "boys" name but in giving their daughter a name like Bryce back in the 50s(?) it shows her parents weren't willing to let convention stop them or their daughter in doing what she wanted to do. Bryce seems to have carried this strength throughout her life.

Um, her name is Quentin not Bryce.... Same point to be made I guess. And she was born in 1942.
