I know that it is typically a boy's name, but I am one of those annoying people who likes to use boyish names for girls (blame it on my GD!). It actually is in both the girl section and the boy section of the name book, and I figure if girls can be Addison and Emerson, why not Sawyer? What do you all think?

I love it. It's unique without being too "out there." :)

I've met several little girls named Sawyer. I think it's cute.

One of my favorite names I've ever heard (it was a boy, but would be nice on a girl too)- Sawyer Blue.

I have a Sawyer and funny as Emmerson is top of my list for a girl! I think Sawyer is even cooler for a girl!!

I heard it on a tv show a while back and loved it. It's a great name!

I think this is perfect Hobbers...but you won't get to use it unless you want to name a baby in blue with it :)

I agree :) But I do like Sawyer for a boys name too

Thanks ladies! Ha ha Auroara and Dloui, I like it for a boy too, and I hope you are right! ....but I still think the baby is a girl. DH loves the name Molly for a girl. I like it too, but I don't adore it.... nothing has come along that feels "perfect", but I really like Sawyer. My other kids have Southern names, so I think it fits.

Hey! Nice to see you here. :)I actually liked that character on Lost (I know he was kind of an a-hole), though I had the name in mind 3 kids ago before I had ever seen the show. I know it is boyish, but I have found it on several web sites and in a few name books in the girl section.

I like it! And if you like it enough, you could end up choosing this name for whatever "flavor" baby you have cooking right now, as it would work nicely for a boy or girl. ;)

True, Sweetpea!

Can anyone think of a middle name? I think it would need a really girly middle name to balance it out.

How many syllables is your last name?

2. Ends with an N.

For 2 syllable first and last names I really like 1 or 3 syllable middle names. So either something short and sweet (Grace) or longer and feminine (Madeline)....just examples but I'll keep thinking.

Thanks for the suggestions! I think I like the idea of something short, like Rose or Grace or Marie, but maybe a little less common?

I love the names Paige (I would love to use this but we already have a DG name picked if we are ever so blessed as to have a DD), Claire, Eve, Quinn (but its kind of like Sawyer for boy/girl), Maeve (think this sounds like a classic movie star name), Fern, Lark (again kinda boy/girl). Look up one syllable girl names, it will keep you busy for hours lol!
