155 Traditional Boy Names That Are Trending for Girls
Sugar and spice and everything nice, that’s what little girls are made of—even when their name is one that is traditionally associated with boys! One of the rising trends these days when it comes to selecting a moniker for a baby is bestowing "boy names" for girls.
In recent years, modern parents no longer feel beholden to the social norm of selecting gender-specific names for their newborns. As mothers and fathers strive to decide on unique baby names to make their kids stand out in a crowd, unisex names for boys and girls have grown in popularity. Some parents have even taken the gender-neutral naming trend a step further, opting to give their daughters conventionally masculine names.
After all, in 2021, Avery, Riley, Aubrey, Kennedy and Skylar—all once traditionally considered to be boy names—topped the list of the 100 most popular girls' names according to the Social Security Administration. If you are a mom or dad of a daughter and you love the name Stevie or Wiley, then this list of 155 boy names for girls will surely inspire you. We’ve even offered some alternate versions if you like the sound of a “boy name” but want something spelled in a more feminine manner for some extra flair!
But if you are the traditional type who prefers something old-fashioned for your little princess, we’ve got a list of those names for you, too! No matter what you decide upon, the name will surely be just as beautiful as your baby daughter!
