HelpRe: What are your favourite boys names for girls? -ETA
in reply to a message by HoneyAnt
I'd be fine with using Peregrine for a girl, and maybe Dmitri.
Also *ian endings, considering I wouldn't blink at any of these for a girl:
Vivian
Julian
Octavian
Dorian
A couple that are already unisex, but that I only like for a girl are Noga and Merle.
I've always thought of Augustine as feminine, which makes Constantine look feminine to me, too...maybe also *ence endings like Laurence or Torrence...basically all the masculine names in English that are (or sound like) feminine French names would work okay imo...or, on the flip side, sometimes French masculine names come across as feminine/unisex sounding to me; Etienne is one of those. Another is Yves.
Eta:
I forgot about Lorne. Not sure why I love that one as feminine, but I do.
