Sparrow and Skylark
I'm really loving Sparrow for a girl right now, WDYT? I like it for either really, but more on a girl.I also love Skylark for a boy, WDYT? I loved this name for ages, and it's coming back again.

I like Sparrow and Lark, on either gender really. My only problem is that I would likely never use either because they don't have a great history behind them. I like substance.

Perhaps just Lark?+Sparrow wouldn't age well, I don't think.

Sparrow is one of my favorite guilty pleasures. I'd only use it as a mn though.I don't care for Skylark, but I do like both Sky and Lark on their own.

I think Sparrow, although if just Lark was up there, that would be my first choice. Lark sounds kind of musical to me!

I've always been fond of Sparrow. I had a pair of characters called Sparrow and Starling, quite some time ago.Skylark seems a bit feminine to me.As far as bird names go, I think Falcon is my favourite.

Sparrow is pretty for a girl. I am not big on Skylark personally.

I like them...I've always liked the sound of Skylark, though I'm not sure I'd ever use it. I would use either Skyler / Skylar or Lark / Larkin. But I do think Skylark is cool for either gender. Sparrow is really nice and I'd consider it for a daughter, though probably more as a mn.

they're both really insubstantial namesEspecially Sparrow. Like a little elfish creature ina mediocre kids' book.Skylark also manages to seem pretentious. Also, Buick Skylark.

Both are adorable. I don't think I'd ever use either for children (some people may conjure up negative bird connotations), but they're equally awesome for pets or fictional characters. Simply awesome.

I really like Sparrow for a girl. I don't like Skylark at all but it seems really feminine so I imagine it would be difficult for a boy to have. That said I do really like the name Sky on a boy!

I love them both!I think that Sparrow is pretty unisex, but is especially cute on a girl. Skylark seems particularly feminine to me because I went to elementary school with a girl named Lark (which I also love, by the way). They're both very lovely.Sparrow Elspeth
Sparrow Annabelle
Sparrow Adelaide
Sparrow Andromeda
Sparrow HyacinthSkylark Lucian
Skylark Xander
Skylark Matthias
Skylark Antony (Anthony works, too)
Skylark RowanThose are the combos that came to me first.

Sparrow is cute. I love all Lark names on either gender. Skylark is adorable. Sky or Lark would make awesome NN's.
