I know a couple of girls named Rowan and no boys--I get that it's traditionally a boys name, but it's now being used for girls. [ Reply | More ]

SSA still has it as more commonly used for boys; 853 boys named that in 2007 vs. 703 girls. I hate this trend of parents co-opting boys' names for girls. [ Reply | More ]

Avery swings far in the direction of the girls now. 5,323 girls vs 1,715 boys named that in 2007. Here's the URL for the SSA's list of baby names by year: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/ [ Reply | More ]

really? my sister's middle name is Leslie and one of my stepsisters is named Leslie. Although it's not terribly common today, I don't think I'd call it unusual. [ Reply | More ]

Haven't you noticed that "unusual" names have become routine and mundane? To be unusual today, you would have to name your baby something like John David, Mary Catherine, Jane, etc. [ Reply | More ]

OP: Yes, Dutch and Irish. We looked at Dutch names, like Anika, Gisele and Jette, but couldn't agree on one. Looked at Irish names for our first, a boy, and ended up with something Scottish. [ Reply | More ]
