Logan is a very popular name where I live. It's mostly used for boys, but I've met 5-6 female Logans over the years as well (incl. a distant cousin). I'm not big on it for boys, but I definitely dislike it for girls, but that pretty much goes for most unisex names for me. :-/

Hate it for boy or girl (m) . . .

Way too super trendy and soap opera-y.

I'd rather see it on a girl than a boy. It's so overused for boys. Most surnames are unisex in my eyes though.

Hate it for a girl, it's too masculine, sorry. Like it for a boy though.

Hey everyone!
HAve a good day!
have a magical life!

I like it, it's fun. Maybe because it's unused here. I like it for either sex, though I prefer it for a girl. It reminds me of Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry and I loved that book when I was 12. So yeah, I like it.

Personally, I only see it as an okay, semi-decent name...and ONLY! for a boy

A friend of mine's 12 year old girl is named Logan, while some girls can pull it off, she's quite the tomboy and has had to endure a lot of teasing because of her name. I think very girlie girls pull off masculine names very well, girls who are not so girlie can come off as androgynous and well.. gay. Logan does shorten well to Lo and that's what my friend's daughter goes by.

I like some masculine names for girls, but Logan is thought of as such a 'guy' name. It's useage is overwhelmingly male, in the 2000's so far, 61,504 male Logans were born compared to 4,723 that's 13 to 1 infavor of the boys, and Logan's been steadily increasing in popularity for boys and decreasing for girls.

While people on babyname message boards understand about this trend of uber-masculine names for girls, small town America still has a lot of it's own ideas about gender identities. From my experience, it's trendy to give a girl a very masculine name in the suburbs, it's not so the thing to do in more conservative places, especially when you're using a name many people have already given to their boys.

I do not like this name, I have a bad association with it. Also, I don't particularly like names that both genders go by.

I love Logan, though I much prefer it on a boy. One of our posters (MO6) has a daughter named Logan.

I like it!

I really like 'boy' names for a girl.

---

Other names that I like for a girl are Tristan, Jordan, Kyle, Nik, Nicola, Maxime/Maxim, Alexis (Nicola, Maxime and Alexis are mostly boy names in french), Emerson, Ashton (or Ashtyn), Rylee, Brodie, Skyler, Andie, Sloane, Rory, Addison...!

Logan is a boy name.

Only for a boy!!!!!
