I like most of them actually! Morgan, Jordan, Leslie, Lee, Erin (Okay, I wouldn't like it as Aaron for a girl).

The worst -- girls named Michael, Ryan, Evan, Willie, Bobbie, Billie, Hunter, Sawyer, Micah and Noah.
Acceptable -- Jordan, Taylor, Avery, Lindsay, Shirley (which were male names until they jumped genders)
If parents started naming their sons Ava, Ella, Sophia, Rose, Charlotte, Amelia, Grace, etc., everyone would be up in arms about the "good" female names being given to boys, but why is it acceptable for male names to be given to females when there are already so many interesting girls' names?

I hate them all, but there is something about the name Jordan on a girl that DRIVES ME CRAZY!
I hate it. Or another one that aggravates me is the name Devan. Because you change the spelling to Devyn, it doesn't make it feminine. ugh
I go to school with a girl named Logan, but she's pretty masculine.
Blake is another one I hate on girls.
It's like it is so hard to find good names for a boy already and then people are pushing them on to girls. Then when you name a boy Riley or Ryan, everyone is like WTF is wrong with you that's a girls name. I mean there are so many pretty feminine legitimate girl names, what is wrong with those? Why take the good ones from boys?
It's also such a double standard. You can name a girl James and get away with it. But if you'd name a boy Isabella, think about the trauma he'd go through. That's my motto, if you want to name a girl a boy name, think about naming your son something feminine. It looks just as ridiculous.

My friend is a girl named Chandler. *cringe* it's not the worst but she's so girly for a name like Chandler. I don't mind Taylor for either gender, but I think it's cuter for a girl. I like Logan for a girl too though ;) I'll probably get a lot of dislikes for this but I honestly think it's cute. haha.

I don't like Payton, Haydon, Harper, Carsen, etc. on girls. The worst I've head though is probably Noah.
I think Mackenzie is equally nice for boys and girls though, and I like Mac as a nickname for a girl and Ken as a nickname for a boy.

Bobby for a girl is the worst.
If I met a girl named Bobby I would have to flush her head down a toilet bowl.
