it's incredibly how 95% of these names have all gone exclusively to females!! Which boy names do you think will eventually crossover to the female side and be lost forever for males? I think the Ayden names and its friends (like Hayden, Jayden and Zaidyn) will eventually become too common for girls, like Charlie, Shane, Skylar, Lee, Dylan, Elliott, James, Blake, Ryan, Mason, Spencer, Evan, Tristan, Angel, Hunter, Emmerson, Tyler, Blayde, Jake, Wesley, Lucas, Caleb, Kyle, Cody, Danny, Austin, etc...
What do you think? |

that's interesting! but i think, if you have a girl, you call it a girls name, you have a boy you giv it a bos name. you wrote on your lit wesley and kyle to be converted, i would probably laugh if i heard a girl called wesley, and other names like kyle, have a girl equivelent (kylie). and avery i stilll can't get over people calling their kids that. but i may be slightly weird in my thinkings. |
