boy names used for a girl, now too girly?

I think Parker is very boyish

Quinn is good for either but I'd say it's more for a boy.

The only "Avery's" I've known are two little girls...so I'm biased in thinking that one is girly.

If you use any of those names for your baby boy, he'll make it masculine.

I have a Parker :) It is original for Australia, but it is received well.

I am though kicking myself that I called him Parker because I love it for a girls name too and we have nothing in way of girls names at the moment :)

His middle name is Emerson and I also love this for a girl also. Maybe I was projecting when I named him?

So thumbs up for Parker as a girls name and Quinn and Avery I think of as girls names also :)
