What do you think about Addison for a boy?

I think it was originally for a boy, but lately I have been hearing and seeing it for a girl, with the nickname of Addie. I don't know how popular it has become, but I do think of it as more as a girly sounding name.

I have to (sadly) agree. I'm afraid this one has gone to the girls.

This one really bugs me on girls because it clearly means "Adam's son". SON. Why would you name a girl a name that means "Adam's son"?

On a boy I can totally see it. Would we stop using John on a boy if some random people decided it was a girl's name? To me, Addison will always be a boy's name.

My general belief on -son names is to keep them in context, i.e. Jackson for a son of a Jack or John, etc. However, if you are Christian or believe we all have decended from Adam and Eve I suppose Addison is a name that could fit for any boy in a roundabout way.

Go for it! Reclaim Addison for the boys!!!

I like it. It is the mn of my 15 year old nephew. I don't think it has gone to the girls,however,it has become unisex.

IMO, it suits a girl better than a boy. I can see how it would be unisex, but the nn Addie could come up, and that just seems really feminine to me. If a different nn would be used, I would like it on a boy.
