[Opinions] Kortney on a boy?
I know a guy named Kortney James and I wanted to know what you think. All my friends think it's weird and I did too at first, but now it's kinda growing on me.
He does go by Kortney though, I asked if he went by James and he said he only uses James when his parents are yelling at him.

I can't say I would use it. I have knows two male Courtney's, both of whom were very nice gay men, but I never liked their names.

I don't mind Courtney on a boy, but Kortney is horrid with this spelling.

I like Courtney better, but any since it's on a boy, I still like it. It sounds so dated and whiney on a girl.

Courtney is a unisex name. I myself find Kourtney tacky looking and mor feminin that Courtney.

I know a couple of Male Courtneys it is a unisex name so I dont find it weird at all. I also know males with the names Ashley and Madison

I don't care for the spelling but I know a male Courtney and I think it's fine. Like Ashley, I think Courtney is a bit overused and cutesy on girls but I'm much happier to see it on a boy. That said, I don't care for Courtney as much as I do Ashley but I'm also not bothered by the fact that it's a popular name for girls.

I used to work in a nursing home, and one of the male residents there was named Courtney, but went by Court. I thought Court as a nn was okay. But Courtney... that poor kid will be teased.

Sorry to be so blunt, but Kortney strikes me as a girl who had illiterate parents.

I work with a male Kourtney. I don't know, it never struck me as that strange. I believe that Courtney/Kourtney/Cortney started out as a male name, and maybe that's why I thought nothing of it, even though my niece's middle name is Courtney, and I used to babysit for a little girl with the name.
But yet...Kourtney does sound more feminine than masculine. Maybe part of the reason it seemed natural is that the Kourtney I work with is quite effeminate.
