boys names you like on girls

[taz]

Any boys names you like or find acceptable at least on girls?

[holbs]

I have a few unisex names that for me fall more on the girls side than the boys, although there isn't any rhyme or reason to it. But, that being said, I think these names work well on girls:
Leighton
Blair
Sloane
Spencer
River

However, if you mean names that are completely boys names that I think could work on girls, I'd say while I'm sure there are some that would work, I'd prefer they stay with the boys! Unless its a maiden name honoring someone (such as James or Campbell or something, then thats all right IMO)

Morgan is truly unisex to me
Rowan, but I still prefer it on boys.
Vivian - but I prefer the spelling Vivien or Vivienne on girls
Rain I always thought of as feminine but some Berries find it masculine, I'll throw in a vote for Rain.

I think Archer and Mason are fine on either as I do not believe an occupational name is gendered and girls can shoot bows or lay bricks. I find son-of names far more jarring on a girl, Madison/Addison/Emerson names. Mason even has that nice May/Mae sound on the front.

Honestly I wouldn't use Archer or Mason anyway, I don't think, just I like I wouldn't use the "girl" occupational names of Harper or Piper, but the idea that they're all four unisex wouldn't bother me at all.

I don't mind Reese on girls, though I'd like if Rhys remained usable for boys.

I like Billie for a girl. Not sure how to work it into a combo I like, but I like it for a girl.

Avery and Emery. I think Avery is exceptionally pretty.

I know Mackenzie has just about went over all to the girls (I have a niece with this name) but I also knew a little boy named this... I think it is adorable on either!

I love Billie but as a nn for Wilhelmina or something.
Frankie for Frances.
Morgan. I like Alison but I want the -son stuff to stop there!
I love Charlie but dislike all of the longforms to get there!

I guess I am more into boyish nns...but I have always toyed with the idea of Asa & Ira

I'm one of those that is adamantly against using unisex names, lol, but there are some unisex (and "unisex") names that I love on girls, and there's really no reason to it:

Parker
Brady (I know! They're so bad. But I really like them on girls, lol!)
Evan
Hadley
Morgan
Madison/Addison (although I LOVE Addison on boys, too!)
Harper (see Addison!)

I think Sloane works really well for girls, too, although I'm not sure I really love it...
