Addison (WDYT - M or F?)

I like the name Addison, with nicknames Addie, Addy. But, Addison comes up as a boys name meaning "Adam, Earth." What do you think about using Addision for a girl?
By the way, I'm new.

I had actually never heard the name until I came to this board several months ago looking for help choosing a name for our 2nd DD
&nbs
I consider Addison a boy's name.
I suppose if you want the nn Addie, name a girl Adelle.
I have to say that I am pretty sure it started out as mainly a boy's name about ten or more years ago, but judging by all the girl Addisons/nn Addys I have known in ten years of teaching in early childhood-----it's a girl's name and a cute one at that.
Hope this helps!

I totally agree with everything aidensmum said. It's a masculine boys' name that's turned into a trendy girls' name. I also think of Addisons's Disease.
