    Too girly??

    The name DH and I have chosen for Beez's middle name is Taylor (if it's a boy)

    Do you think it's too girly? I don't, but there's been a little girl born locally recently whose name is Taylor.

    Not giving away the first name.... sorry!

    Thoughts?
    Need honest replies.

    You wouldn't hear it as a middle name. Not much, anyway, and you'd have the first name first to make it clear. As long as the first name's not Ashley, I think you're OK

    The first name is unisex as well. We are so in love with the name... The name is 'traditionally' a boys name, but I've heard it as a girl's name too....

    Oh I think that Taylor is totally a unisex name and I love it!

    My friends named their little boy Charlie and then another close friend called her lil girl Charlie, so I think the unisex names are wonderful and I think it suits them both awesome.

    Good luck

    I think Taylor is totally a boys name... just one of those irritating cases of a boys name being stolen for girls, like there aren't enough good girl's names already! Go for it

    Totally a boys name IMO, I agree its been stolen too much as a girls name... there are so many pretty girls names and its already so hard to find a good boys name!

    I love it!

    My son's name is Shay and he had 3 girls in his school with that name. He is also only the 2nd male Shay I know (the first being where I got the idea from! And that was spelt Shea).

    My son is now 20 and he completely suits his name and he has always loved it too so don't worry too much about gender related naming conventions. Use what you love!
