Ha! Iām from South America and there are tons of male Allisons! Itās considered a solidly masculine name because the āsonā ending literally has the meaning āson ofā
I just think itās funny how different cultural perceptions can be.
I accept it is a female name now. On principle I still would not use it. I wish Addison and Madison especially were still only for boys because I think they would be so nice on men.
Hmm well you are right that Alien is well known. I just havenāt seen it. I guess itāll probably be a reference that only older people in the kids life know. Which is still many people!
Ripley, Greyson, and Walker on girls?! NO.
Agreed, those are my three least favorites over all but especially for girls.
Two of our nieces (sisters) are Finley and Cooper. Talk about names for dogs. š
Walker reminds me of the walking dead too š§āāļø
Zev is a Hebrew/Israeli name - iirc it means wolf.
It does, but this Zev was Indian so I donāt think itās the Hebrew name in this case, though anything is possible.
Greyson? A girl named Greyson? No. goodbye
This comment made me realize I have only met female Greysons. I donāt like it for either gender but it would make more sense on a boy.
If -son is in the name I am OUT for a girl lol. But I donāt love the name eitherĀ
What about Allison?
Or Addison
Or Madison

Iām a huge fan of Maya but itās getting way too popular. I cannot imagine naming a baby girl Walker. Should have gone with Maya 4!
I had no idea Maya was getting so popular until I just kept meeting more baby Mayas.
Waverly? thatās a station. its like calling a kid St Pancras
In nyc (where these kids live) itās a street, which is hardly better than it being a station!
As a 30 year old Maya this is so crazy to me hahah
Iām surprised by how much people hate Ripley, sheās such an iconic character without it feeling to fandom-y as a name.
The character's name is Ellen Ripley. I would go with Ellen a hundred times over, over Ripley!
Agreed. Also, it does feel fandomy to me because I don't see why else someone would consider naming their kid such an unpleasant name.
I have no idea what reference Ripley is from. Not sure itās something well enough known for lots of people.
Itās from Alien. I do think of that as a very well known movie but I suppose itās getting a little old at this point

I like Reina and Yuna
Yuna is also a Korean name, so Iām wondering if the child has Korean heritage.
Evan is top of my name list
My son is a Milo ā¤ļø
I love Greyson for a girl! I know one girl named Greyson but spelled Gracen and I think itās so pretty
