Just a list of traditionally boy names I feel can be used for girls as well. A bunch of these names are more unisex but I feel still apply.
  1. Ajax
    • Alaric
      • Alen
        • Augustine
          • Bellamy

            • Origin:

              English and Irish from French

            • Meaning:

              "fine friend"

            • Description:

              Bellamy is emerging as an up-and-coming girls' name, an Irish surname-y riff on the super-popular Bella series of names. While the Bella connection makes Bellamy sound a little trendier and more popular than it really is, we see the name possibly rising through the ranks for both genders in the coming years.
          • Billie

            • Origin:

              English, diminutive of Wilhelmina, Wilma

            • Meaning:

              "resolute protection"

            • Description:

              Billie is a tomboy nickname name, part of the growing trend for using boyish nicknames for girls and now destined for stardom along with its most famous contemporary bearer, music sensation Billie Eilish.
          • Bertram
            • Christian

              • Origin:

                Greek from Latin

              • Meaning:

                "follower of Christ"

              • Description:

                Long used as a masculine name, when you think about it there is no reason this word name can't be used on a daughter as well as a son. Only about 1 percent of the baby Christians born today are girls, but the name is not unknown for baby girls.
            • Casimir
              • Cedric
                • Clement
                  • Darcy

                    • Origin:

                      Irish or French

                    • Meaning:

                      "dark one, or from Arcy, or from the fortress"

                    • Description:

                      Delicate ballerina name with grace, charm, and heft courtesy of Jane Austen's Mr.
                  • Damian
                    • Dominic
                      • Douglas
                        • Eddie

                          • Origin:

                            English

                          • Meaning:

                            "prosperity"

                          • Description:

                            In the age of Billie and Charlie, Eddie seems like a plausible option for a girl – short for Edwina, Edith, Eluned or any girl name containing the letters E and D.
                        • Ezra

                          • Origin:

                            Hebrew

                          • Meaning:

                            "help"

                          • Description:

                            Ezra is a biblical favorite for boys that's been making inroads into the girls' Top 1000 since 2018 and it's easy to see why. With its soft sounds and -a ending, it holds the same appeal as Noa, Sasha, Micah, and Luka do: short, sweet, and solid. 2024 saw Ezra climb 61 places up the US charts, placing it just outside the Top 700.
                        • Evander
                          • Francis

                            • Description:

                              Francis as a feminine name has Latin origins, derived from the Latin 'Franciscus' meaning 'French' or 'free one.' While Francis is more commonly used for boys in English-speaking countries, it has a long tradition as a feminine name as well, especially in Catholic families. The feminine version is sometimes distinguished by pronunciation (FRAN-sis for females versus FRAN-sis or FRAN-siss for males). Many women named Francis opt to use nicknames like Fran, Frannie, or Francie. The name gained popularity for girls in the early 20th century but declined after the 1950s. With its classic religious associations, particularly to St. Francis of Assisi, the name carries connotations of humility, generosity, and connection to nature.
