Addison is my maiden name and it only works on a boy for me. It means "SON of Adam".Please don't put it on a girl. It's mean and the girls have stolen enough boy names already.-Seda*

Sorry, I dislike surnames as first names, especially on girls.

I really dislike Son or Mac names for girls they are so unfeminine and to my mind ugly
Thats not to say all surnames are, some have unisex meanings like say Harley or Ainslie, though I personally wouldnt use them, (except as a middle name if they were a family name) they at least have meanings that could be for male or femaleA childs smile is worth more to me than Gold

To me, Addison is very masculine. -Priscilla

ditto, probably because SON is staring back at me*
I'm too lazy to think of a clever signature.

Sorry, I hate SON-names for girlsSince Addison is a surname and means "Adam's son", I don't understand the attraction.Laurel as a fn would be lovely."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."

Yes, but that does not make me like themAnd son-names for girls is a pet peeve of mine."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."

Addison is a surname to me, and has a boyish (son) meaning. I think it's trashy. Especially if Britney likes it lol

I love Addison! It's an old family name for me.

Addison is NMS, but if it is used I much prefer it on a boy.

I like Addison, but only for a middle name and only for a boy.My favorite boy combo using this name is Chandler Addison, *and it came from a Cabbage Patch Doll.. of all things!*Curiosity is the very basis of education and if you tell me that curiosity killed the cat, I say only the cat died nobly. - Arnold Edinborough

I know a male Addison who is currently about 17. I associate the name very strongly with him, and I can't see it on a girl. I see it on a lanky, bookish kid with glasses. On boys, it strikes me as cute but malleable as the kid ages. On girls, it seems a little pretentious.

I only like Addison for a boy. It's annoying how it will be associated with Britney Spears if she has a girl.
