hi all. i am not pregnant yet but i have one daughter. i love thinking of names for future siblings for her. my daughter's name is Payton. what sounds good with that? i love more traditionally thought as boy names for girls. i.e Alex and Jordan. but i dont like names like Jordan with Payton the endings are too similar in my opinion. I like Blake for a girl but my hubby said no way!! any ideas?

I love Ryan and Chandler. I have a friend having a girl in October, the baby will named Ryan. I am pregnant and due in January. If it is a girl we are leaning towards Reese or Chandler.

I love the name Payton!!

Avery is actually one I like on a girl or a boy (and that's saying a lot for me LOL). I'd suggest Rowan or Morgan but they end in -an as well.

I do like Delaney with your dd's name -- technically a surname, but most surnames are unisex and more are used for boys than girls anyway so I think it fits. ;)

What about:

Addison
Aubrey
Austin
Taylor
Morgan
Kendall
Ramsey
Devin/Devon

A lot of unisex names end with "n" so it was hard avoiding them, my fav.'s for you are:

Payton and Taylor
Payton and Kendall

Good luck!

Thanks
Ryan is cute! Chandler is unique. My friend had a girl and named her Veronika Ryan.

I have a cousin who named her daughter Payton Riley... I LOVE that! So maybe you could name your next Riley/Rylee. I think it sounds really good together.

a lot of the unisex names do have the same ending as Peyton: Dylan, Morgan, Reegan/Raegan, Teegan/Taegan, Jordan, Camryn, Logan

there's also Riley, Taylor, Skyler, Kendall (I know a Kyndle - starts out as in "next of kin" I like that a lot)

then there's these that are more known to girls but have a not-so-feminine feel, sorta like unisex: Piper (my favorite of those types), Whitney, Mackenzie, Madison (although way too popular)

the name Delaney, which I feel is very feminine, apparently has been used on some boys but some time ago, more of a last-name-turned first name kinda thing. Aubrey, which is known as all girl, apparently was a boys name at one time (I can't see it)

Hunter and Spencer have supposedly been used for girls, I think they are way too far to the boy side though.

good luck

Hello, i also like names that could be used for either a girl or a boy. My 4 yr old daughter 's name is Jorden. I really like the names Ryanne, Cameron, and Payton as well. There are quite a few out there and it seems like you have a bit of time to find the right one.

Hi, i actually came across a page in my name book that is called Gender-free names. These names have been known to have been used for either boys or girls.

Austin, Corey, Jordan, Page,

Bailey, Regan, Dakota, Kendall,

Breslin, Brice, Loren, Stevie,

Taylor, Walker, Zane, Darby,

Cameron, Kelly, Royce, Bryn,

Channing, Marlowe, Tierney.

Some of these are pretty cute. I hope they gave you a few new ideas.

I actually can't stand traditionally boy names used for girls but I do think Samantha, nn Sam, is kind of cute.
