So I love love love the opposite sex naming. I have two girls and a baby boy on the way. My first is girly: Harper Renay My second is more boyish: Hudsynn Alek Well I wanted to stick with Hs with baby boy but only fell in love with Haley James. Yes I know it’s off one tree hill. Yes it’s a girl name. But is it really too girly for a boy? I’ve done some research and there’s actually an actor named Haley and a few others. We’ve compromised with Sutton but I’m just not 100% happy. Everyone hated that I was using Hudson for my girl and now they love it. It fits her. I want to use Haley for my boy dang it. Am I crazy?! 😫😂

I would say no it’s too girly but it’s your baby.

@bitchcraft, no way!! Did he hate it??
Megan Kissinger·
@raqueliiosiis, that’s what my family keeps saying.
-_-·
Yeah it sounds pretty girly 🤷🏻♀️
Megan Kissinger·
@scx, I feel like it only sounds girly because we’ve made it that way. I mean butch is way too masculine for a girl because it’s butch. I feel like Haley could maybe go both ways 😂😂😂 maybe I’m losing my mind.
-_-·
@megank.kissinger, Well it’s your baby lol and I’m sure he’ll get teased for having a girl name when he’s older. You’ll just have to teach him to ignore it. Lolol maybe go with Harley?
Megan Kissinger·
@scx, ya that’s what I was afraid of. Ya idk why but I don’t like that name anymore. I did last year. I was thinking heath maybe but BD shot that down quick.

@bitchcraft, see that’s what I was hoping for with my kiddos. Uniqueness. Now Harper isn’t unique but whatever. I tried to change it but my family already has a ton of stuff monogrammed.
-_-·
@megank.kissinger, I loveee that name Heath!! That’s such a nice name lol ugh sorry he didn’t like it >.<

What about Hadley, Harbor, Hayden, or Henley?
BMAMA·
@megank.kissinger What about Harley? That just adds an "r" but you make it more masculine that way. I know a couple who just named their daughter "Hardy". That also works! I also know a "Henrix". Good luck!

Haden/Hayden
My sons name is Haden James. Has a nice ring to it, lol.
Samuel is always a good middle name for an “S”🙂
Megan Kissinger·
@one.tired.momma, love Hayden however a friend of mine lost her son a few years back and his name was Hayden :/ so I feel like it’s off limits
Megan Kissinger·
@aylenrose, I know a girl with a Hadley (girl), harbor is too close to Harper (my first born) love Hayden but it’s off limits (friends son who died was named Hayden). I like Henley but not in love with it haha. I’m telling you I’ve gone through alllllll the H names 😣
Megan Kissinger·
@scx, me too! May just be stuck with Sutton. Which I like and it’s different. Just really wanted to stick to Hs
Megan Kissinger·
@mom211n11, I thought about Harley but that names booming right now from Harley Quinn.
Fairy Godmother·
Oh I see, I’m so sorry.
Haven or Hunter? They’re unisex names.
I don’t think Haley is too girly for a boy either. My mom said people would tease my son about his name when I was still pregnant with him. Haven’t heard a single negative thing about it and it is actually quite a popular name now.
Good luck!
PS. Love the name Harper. I named my daughter Harper Sue.
Megan Kissinger·
@one.tired.momma, we’ve tried every H name I swear lol.
See. I feel like Haley isn’t all that feminine. Idk. I don’t want him to get picked on but it would be super cute and so different. Oh ya, Hayden is huge now!! And I think it was once considered a “girl only” name!!
Thank you. Guess I can decide when he comes out 🤷🏼♀️ never done it before but I may have to at this point
Fairy Godmother·
Who knows, maybe once you see him and hold him for the first time, it’ll just come to you 🙂
Megan Kissinger·
@one.tired.momma, that’s what I’m hoping for at this point haha

Just saw the name Strummer 🤷♀️
Not sure if you’d like it, but I’ve never heard it before. Kinda unique.
