Boy’s names for girls have been a rising theme in 2021. With many names teetering to the gender-neutral area, many parents of soon-to-be girls are on the hunt for some stand-out names that are traditionally more masculine.
If you haven’t already watched my YouTube video, go and check it out as I mention over 75 name options for your girl that are stylish boy names!
I had a bit of an overflow of names from the video, so here are some more ideas of boy names for girls to add to your baby name list in 2021 & beyond!
Tips for choosing a name
Below I have assembled a list of some things to consider to help guide you when trying to narrow down that perfect name for your little one.
- Are there any negative associations with this name?
- What will the Initials be?
- How will the name be perceived when your child grows up?
- Does it sound too far outside the box?
- Does it sound too common?
- Do you want the name to have a nickname?
- Is there someone in your circle that already has the name?
- Do you even care for the meaning behind the name?
You will have many opinions thrown your way about the names you have selected, and this may cause you to second guess yourself. Sometimes it can be good to have somebody around to discuss your choices, but ultimately it should come down to your own decision. If you are someone that is easily influenced by others’ opinions, the best advice I can give is to keep it a secret. No one needs to know until your little one arrives.
