In recent years, the entire concept of "boy names" and "girl names" have been turned on its head. There's a long list of gender neutral baby names [1], yes. But beyond that, there's a growing trend of using what's traditionally been thought of as boy names for girls. Think, Noah, Wyatt, Reese, Drew . . . In fact, some celebs with boy names [2] themselves (Blake Lively [3]) seem to love the concept so much that they're using the boy names for girls trend on their own kids [4] (James).
This trend doesn't appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, it's not even all that new of a trend. Names like Kelly or Dana were once considered boy names, but now they're almost more commonly used among girls.
Using boy names for girls allows you to get the best of both worlds: you get to name your kid something that has a classic vibe [5], but at the same time, it feels fresh, non-traditional, and unique. And while there are no real rules when it comes to choose a boy name for girls, sometimes it can be hard to pick boy names [6] that feel fitting for your new arrival.
That's where we come in. This list of 100 boy names for girls is sure to spark your imagination.
