Help[Opinions] Re: Bailey
in reply to a message by Mercy Joy
Bailey is one of those names that, even though I've met children with this name, is only a dog name to me. It's along the same lines as Roxy- I know of people named Roxanne "Roxy", but I still can't help but think of it as a pet name.
Bailey is definitely a unisex name, but if I were to use it at all I would use it for a girl. If I did use it for a boy, I'd pair it with something classic and distinctly masculine. Maybe Bailey Thomas, Bailey John or Bailey Vincent.
As for traditionally feminine names used on boys... It depends on the name for me. Azure would be kind of cool on a boy (or girl), but I'd probably assume his parents were new age hippies or something. Clover isn't a name to me- I'd think it was weird on either gender. A few other feminine-sounding word names that I like as GPs on boys are Silver, Teal, Echo and Heart.
Brecken "Kenny" seems to be a good way to use both a 'rough' name and a softer name. I can see how Brecken has a stronger sound, but Kenny sounds softer to me.
