HelpWDYTO Hope for a boy?
Subject line says it all.
We played a video game where one of the main characters was a male named Hope and since then the name has become unisex to me. I actually think I may prefer it for a boy. Wdyt?

My Favorite Names:
Serafina, Fiona, Luna, Hazel, Artemis, Winter, Ursa, Callisto, Freyja, Augustine, Juniper, Frieda, Deirdre, Miranda, Stella, Genevieve, Citrina, & Marguerite
Keiran, Magnus, Arthur, Finn, Teagan, Cedric, Quinn, Rowan, Tobias, Theron, Taliesin, Xavier, Griffin, Julian & Gavin

To me, no. It wouldn't work, I just view it as too feminine.

IRL, he'd need all the optimism available because he'd have a very difficult life!

Nope. It seems like once a name goes to the girls it pretty much stays there.

I'm not a fan of virtue names because I personally find them to be 'cheesy, corny.' And that sort. So from that, I obviously don't care much for the name 'Hope' but I DEFINETLY see it as a girls name. Sorry.
A bit too feminine for a boy. Like all virtue names. There perhaps could be male virue names. I dont know any

I don't care for it, but I think it could work. Might be a little difficult, but I don't think it'd be too bizarre. Still, I don't really like it personally, but that may just be because I really like Hope for a girl.
Although I do admit that I have a soft spot for both Faithful and Hopeful for boys, ala The Pilgrim's Progress. I think of them as kinda like the masculine forms of Faith and Hope, since the former do have a more masculine sound to me. I think I might like to meet a little boy named Hopeful. I could get behind that.

Maybe as a middle name, but definitely not as a first name.

Why not?
I don't like it for either though, it's just such an ugly sound to me.

Why not.
I see no reason that it wouldn't work on a boy. Personally I dislike the name, but thats just me.

No. Not because it's "a girl name" - it's not, it's more just a wordname - but because the concept is really feminine, not in a gendery way but in an abstract way.

No, that won't work at all.
