Is it a girl's name or a boy's name?
| Thu, 11-10-2005 - 12:23am |
Okay, my husband and I are having the typical "we can't agree on a name" disagreement. We're having a girl. He likes the name Rebecca, and I like the name Aidan. I found the name Aidan in two different baby name books, and both of them list it as a girl's name (of course it is spelled differently, but I think that the spelling Aidan is more girly). The problem is that most of the sites online list it as a boy's name. We're now talking about naming her Aidan Rebecca, and most people I have talked to like the sound of the two together. What does anyone else think?

Aidan can be either a boy or a girls name. Aidan Rebecca does sound very nice together. I like pairing a gender neutral name with a more feminine middle name for a girl. The only drawback for chosing the name Aidan is that it is VERY popular for both boys and girls along with many other -aden names.
Good luck!
Have you considered Ada or Aida, or Adeline (Addie for short)? I think they have the same strong, clean sound as Aidan, but with a bit more femininity (which might just win over dh!)

I think of it as a boy name only
I know it's becoming unisex, but I would never use it for a girl, just my opinion
If you are intent on that, I think Ayden or Aydin looks more feminine
