I am on my third girl and had since my first one had Brevin picked out for a boys name but now that I'm pg with another girl I was wondering about using Brevin for a girl. I think the middle name will be Faith because I have Hope and Grace for my other two girls middle names and wanted to stick with that theme. So Brevin Faith? Anybody like it for a girl? I am on the fence but I do like the name and this will most likely be our last so I'll never use it for a boys name. Thanks for any input!

I have never heard that name before, but it isn't bad. I would have to get use to Brevin Faith. However, I really love the name, Bevin, for a girl. Bevin Faith sounds very pretty.
Good luck,

hmmm...I am on the fence. Do you mind sharing what your other girls names are?

I understand your desire/need to use this name that you have been sitting on for years. But, does it go with your other girls? I think it sounds cute, but if it doesn't go with the rest of them it might sound more "different" than it would sound with similar siblings, KWIM?

Unisex or boy names for girls isn't really my thing but I do like Brevin Faith.

To answer your question, No- it would not sound good as a girls name. Sounds completely madeup. Don't mean to be harsh, but since you asked...

there is an NBA basketball player named Brevin Knight - a guy.

I think you'd be better off with Bevin, little known, rarely used in this country, apparently of Scottish origin

I think Brevin works great with Chloe and Averi, esp. since Avery is also a boys' name and Chloe isn't frilly (like Gabriella or Felicity).

It's okay, but it kinda communicates that "since you weren't a boy" thing...since you'd be using it since she wasn't a boy...(boy, I'm not sure how to say that without sounding offensive, which is not what I'm trying to do.) But I'd probably choose something specifically for her, not something you wanted to use for a brother, if that makes sense. You get enough hand-me-downs as the youngest, anyway (spoken as the youngest.)
